If you Cever go G7out to the c Circus
Where the Wallendas walk on the w Gire
I'll Ctell you a tale to rem Fember
When the wh Cite horses le G7ap rings of f Cire
It was a Ccold n G7ight in Okla Choma
The show was about to be Ggin
The an Cimals they were all r Festless
When the Cstar-pony b G7roke from her Cpen
Now s Che was a m G7are of high sp Cirit
Like a whore on a Saturday n Gight
Just k Cickin' and fuckin' past the men who were br Fushin'
The e Clephants l G7ying on their s Cides
Well cl Cose to the t G7ent sat some la Cnterns
Dangerously next to the h Gay
That m Care headed straight for those la Fnterns
That some f Cool had put G7there by m Cistake
Well Cup steps some G7Indian C Cowboy
His lasso went whirlin' through the a Gir
In the f Cull dead-middle of da Fnger
He r Coped that G7runaway m Care
The elep Chants raised G7up their tr Cumpets
Two of them broke from their ch Gains
And stam Cpeded that Indian Co Fwboy
Who had s Caved the b G7ig-top from fl Cames
So if Cyou ever go G7out to the c Circus
Where the Wallendas walk on the w Gire
Reme Cmber that Indian C Fowboy
When the wh Cite horses l G7eap rings of f Cire
G7O--h, rings of f Cire
