[Intro]

Bb F D#

[Verse]

Bb F Bb D#

Now this is the story of Jacko

D# F Bb

Though Boris was really his name

Bb F Bb D#

A son of the Romani Circus

D# F Bb

Where Juggling balls was his game

Bb F Bb D#

Now sometimes he'd start with the red ones

D# F Bb

And then add the yellow and blue

Bb F Bb D#

Until there were just way too many

D# F Bb

For one man to easily do

Bb F Bb D#

Then suddenly balls would be flying

D# F Bb

Chaotically this way and that

Bb F Bb D#

Yes this was the sad situation

D# F Bb

Where Jacko was frequently at

[Chorus]

D# Bb

Too many balls in the air

F Bb

Too many balls in the air

It's always a struggle

When you try to juggle

F Bb

With too many balls in the air

[Verse]

Bb F Bb D#

Now Jacko would constantly travel

D# F Bb

His home was where he lay his head

Bb F Bb D#

And as a result never married

D# F Bb

The road was his mistress instead

Bb F Bb D#

Well sometimes the ladies would visit

D# F Bb

And no two were ever the same

Bb F Bb D#

And Jacko sometimes in his passion

D# F Bb

Would cry inappropriate name

Bb F Bb D#

Pernilla he cryed when with Linda

D# F Bb

And Anna Marie went with Claire

Bb F Bb D#

And sometimes he'd cry for Alfredo

D# F Bb

Though this was exceedingly rare

[Chorus]

D# Bb

Too many balls in the air

F Bb

Too many balls in the air

It's always a struggle

When you try to juggle

F Bb

With too many balls in the air

Bb F Bb D#

Now this is the story of Jacko

D# F Bb

Though any of us can relate

Bb F Bb D#

Who've gone to the chair from the buffet

D# F Bb

With too many foods on the plate

Bb F Bb D#

And too many pies in the oven

D# F Bb

And too many shades in the hair

Bb F Bb D#

And too many bats in the bellfry

D# F Bb

And too many balls in the air

D# Bb

Too many balls in the air

F Bb

Too many balls in the air

It's always a struggle

When you try to juggle

F Bb

With too many balls in the air

[Outro]

D# Bb

Too many balls in the air

F Bb

Too many balls in the air

It's always a struggle

When you try to juggle

F Bb

With too many balls in the air

It's always a struggle

When you try to juggle

F Bb

With too many balls in the air

It's always a struggle

When you try to juggle

With too many balls

in the air
