Circus song/ don mclean
i tabbed this one from his live album SOLO, but on the album TAPESTRY
it sounded nearly the same. In my ears it sounds pretty good, but i not
so sure about the base part of it. I not so good at these things. I added the
lyrics, but i'm not a native born speaker of english.
Please correct me if i made some mistakes. I can learn of it.
Ronald staats, Utrecht, Holland july 1995.

lyrics:
cotton candy, two for a quarter
see if the fat man can guess your weight
a big stuffed tiger is what i bought her
and i'm going home cause it's late.
roller coasters make me dizzy
cotton candy makes me sick
i wish i had some bromo fizzy
that would do the trick.
everyone knows that the clowns aren't happy
and everyone knows that the people don't care
i wish i could laugh at the way that they're acting
but i'm so sick, i just don't dare to
high wire dancers, kick and balance
white silk horses step in time
the tatoed man display's his talents
i'm not the talented kind
i alway_ go to the circus on sunday
and there i can laugh at the people i see
but when i leave home in the morning on monday
everybody laughs at me.
you see, i make other people nervous
i quess that's why they laugh at me
but for me my life is a three ring circus
and i can see it for free.
have you seen my wife elvira,
she can tame a lion you know.
and i once had a bushy mane
but that was so damned long ago.
tight collored clowns in plastic buildings
have happy families as their fate
happy jobs and happy clubs
and happy people they hate
everyone's jugling and everyone's acting
with smiles of grease painted three feet wide
everyone_ caught on a caroussel pony
and one time around is a life time ride.
