[00:00.00]Off To Join The World (The Circus Song) - Blaine Larsen
[00:09.75]Now friends listen well let me tell you a story
[00:14.37]I remember just like yesterday
[00:19.29]Of a footloose young lad who ran off with the circus
[00:24.00]Much to his mama's dismay
[00:28.37]He was cleaning up after the elephants when
[00:32.49]This high flying trapeze girl smiled down
[00:38.05]In search of a handsome companion because
[00:42.32]She had just broken up with a clown
[00:49.33]Now the with one graceful aerial flip he was smitten
[00:54.26]With her and her little tutu
[00:59.08]Standing there love struck why he almost stumbled
[01:03.68]Into the elephants doing their tricks
[01:07.98]And the ringmaster smiled tipped his top hat and said
[01:13.05]Son bid adieu to your heart
[01:17.85]And his words rang true right there under the bleachers
[01:22.11]Soon after that big top went dark
[01:45.33]Now the old bearded lady she whispered be careful
[01:50.23]On the train to the very next town
[01:55.01]And the handful of midgets who ride unicycles
[01:59.61]Peddled by with one smile and four frowns
[02:04.23]So he had a vague sense of uneasiness when
[02:08.85]His new sweetheart opened the door
[02:13.66]And he knew when he saw the clown standing behind her
[02:18.27]In front of her there stood one more
[02:41.55]Now I can't say for sure if it was Barnum or bailey
[02:46.46]To whom my handed the note
[02:50.98]But a tall skinny feller standing on stilts
[02:55.98]First read these words that I wrote
[03:00.24]It said I promise to never again give my heart
[03:04.72]To some high flying trapeze girl
[03:09.82]Goodbye cruel circus
[03:14.37]I'm off to join the world
