The Day That The Circus Left Town - Eartha Kitt

I waved to the man with the golden baton

And I waved through the rain falling down

And I waved till the last of the music was gone

The day that the circus left town

My heart still recalls when it seems to my mind

That my heart only knows how to frown

How my heart almost broke when they left me behind

The day that the circus left town

I asked for a job doing anything

Feed the elephants carry water anything

But the man said they didn't have anything

And turned me away turned me away

And away went the lions and the tigers so wild

And away went my beautiful clown

And away went my very last day as a child

The day that the circus left town

I asked for a job doing anything

Feed the elephants carry water anything

But the man said they didn't have anything

And turned me away turned me away

And away went the lions and the tigers so wild

And away went my beautiful clown

And away went my very last day as a child

The day that the circus left town
