Split Enz - Jamboree lyrics

Roll up, roll up to the jamboree Roll up, roll up to the jamboree Roll up, roll up, troupers jamboree Old friends attend, long time no see Roll up, roll up, troupers come on down Big top, non stop, annual reunion I know what you're thinking, I know what you'll say But I gotta getta be, at the troupers jamboree There's safety in numbers, I'll never forget 40 years ago, on with the show Distant voices calling, calling me Entertaining me Memories of the heydays With the better company I know what you're thinking, I know what you'll say But I gotta getta be, at the troupers jamboree There's safety in numbers, I'll never forget 40 years ago, on with the show Roll up, roll up, troupers jamboree Old friends attend, long time no see Roll up, roll up, troupers come on down Big top, non stop, annual reunion Keeping a lonely vigil while the girls all have a ball The stories come out thick and fast, long, short and tall There's Frank du Preze on the flying trapeze Finally come down to earth Good ol' Chris the contortionist, is bent if not worse Dear ol' Merle the strip-tease girl, do anything for kicks And the ol' magician has disappeared, still up to his old tricks Well the gag man's been gagged And the straight man's gone straight The mime artiste too clever for words And the MC's still late Oh Jamboree, oh Jamboree! Oh Jamboree, oh Jamboree! Oh Jamboree, oh Jamboree! Oh Jamboree, oh Jamboree!
