lyrics

I ran away to join the circus
So I could walk up on the wire
Or maybe drive a motorcycle
Through a raging ring of fire.
I won’t go into all the details,
But things just didn’t go my way
So I’m sweeping up after the elephants today.

I couldn’t be a lion tamer;
I had an allergy to cats.
And tumbling makes me much too queasy
To ever join the acrobats.
If I could hear the people cheer me,
I wouldn’t even ask for pay,
But I’m sweeping up after the elephants today.

With all these disappointments you may ask why I don’t quit,
But I love show biz way too much to ever turn my back on it.

So if you come to see the circus
Remember all the folks like me;
We’re working hard to make you happy
By doing things you never see.
When you’re clapping in the grandstands
Just throw a little love my way.
I’ll be sweeping up after the elephants today.
I’ll be sweeping up after the elephants today.
I’ll be sweeping up after the elephants today.
