Oh Mr. Barnum

You told us all that this would the biggest show that we had ever seen

You said it would be huge, the greatest of all time

That everybody here could have everything that they'd ever dreamed

But now the crowd is getting restless thinkin' that you lied

And the ringmaster is gone

It's just a clown down here all alone

Oh Mr. Barnum, won't you please take your circus back home

It seems your big Top Ten ain't large as you said that it would be

And all the things you said that we'd see inside are gone

No strongman, no dancing bears, nobody swinging on trapeze

It's just one bearded lady down here to tell us nothing's wrong

The ringmaster is gone

It's just a clown down here all alone

Oh Mr. Barnum, won't you please take your circus back home

It's your pride leading us to a fall

And you just act like it don't matter at all

Oh Mr. Barnum won't you please take your circus back home

The Ringmaster is gone

It's just a clown down here all alone

Oh Mr. Barnum won't you please take your circus back home

We wanted to believe you but now

We just want you to get out of town

Oh Mr. Barnum, won't you please take your circus

Oh Mr. Barnum, won't you please take your circus

Oh Mr. Barnum, won't you please take your circus back home
