Oh the summer sun is shinin' like a great red rubber ball And the clowns along the midway are the biggest fun of all With their eyes all painted smilin' and their hair an orangey hue When it's summer at the circus how can anyone be blue There are haunted halls of sorrow in the blue magician's ball There are frowns of spoiled manyanas on the iber's painted walls There's a mystery on the island, We are fair in shades of blue When it's summer at the circus and I fall in love with you We are dancing in the dragon gone before our very eyes In relation to rememberance we are wearing thin disguise There are silken dresses whirling 'round in green and golden blue When it's summer at the circus in the dance of love with you Matching older lions in their fierce retorts of woe Chimps are swinging freely, tossing idlers to and fro There are yellow ripe bananas hanging tooth and nail to you When it's summer at the circus spirits long to be renewed High the frightened trapeze walker runs to meet his doom Laughing as the fearful mothers search from room to room Three are looking to their maker three are crying in their womb When it's summer at the circus we go flying bright balloons I am sending my best wishes I will kiss you if I can I an casting off my comfort will you lift me if you can Oh the mid day sun is shinin' lighting up the sea of blue When it's summer at the circus and I fall in love with you
