circus act

we think each little circus act unique
the tigers and the lions each may dance
yet none of you believe the thing a freak

the truth is rather less than mild and meek
without a thrill you'd not give us a glance
we think each little circus act unique

you want to satisfy each band and clique
and not leave any one event to chance
yet none of you believe the thing a freak

unwanted questions are a form of cheek
we must not ever dare to look askance
we think each little circus act unique

at the horizon everything is bleak
there is no reason we could then advance
yet none of you believe the thing a freak

the music comes to seem a bit antique
it cannot now our style and form enhance
we think each little circus act unique
yet none of you believe the thing a freak
