The Greatest Show On Earth

Verse Step up, buy a ticket - Front row, centre seat A real live human drama of love and defeat Don't worry 'bout the cost my friend, you'll get your money's worth As a man and a woman star in the greatest show on earth May I direct your attention now, to ring number one A man and a woman, the affair has just begun And they waltz beneath the spotlight to a round of warm applause Then he puts on his clown mask and she her tiger claws As the band breaks into a rumba, they're blowing for all their worth It's the end of act one, in the greatest show on earth May I direct your attention now, to ring number three A man is in the spotlight, the clown is on his knees He's kneeling beside a dancer, who has fallen from the wire Working without a net, was she the victim of desire? And the crowd begins to wonder is this an act or is she hurt? As the spotlight dims to darkness in the greatest show on earth And now we're in the centre ring, they're lowering the cage The lion and the tigress acting out their final rage But little children don't be scared when you hear that closing song The love affair has ended, but the show it must go on And the circus train moves down the line from Memphis to Fort Worth Appearing now in your hometown, the greatest show on earth Outro Step up buy a ticket...
