Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

I woke up this morning and prayed to the gypsy rose lee

"Gypsy can you help me I'm struggling you see."

I heard her laughing over by the slot machine

 She said, "Baby, baby, baby, I had the strangest dream."

 Having breakfast at the circus

 With the lions and the clowns

 Everybody's laughing just hanging around

 But nobody's gonna love you unless you help tear down

 Breakfast at the circus with the lions and the clowns

People walking a tightrope

Head in the lion's jaws

They need a little mercy

So come on Santa Claus

And when you give your mercy

Won't you save a drop for us

We'll remember you, and your family too when they get us on the bus

[Chorous]

My ears are ringing and my mind is a mess

Give me one goodnight kiss

 To help me forget the past

Woo! What a party

Everyone was there

Great to see you where've you been?

Hey who does your hair?

Free balloons and hats and soon the seal will catch a ball

And after that the acrobat will try to top the show

[Chorous]
