the dubious circus company

Clifford T. Ward

Would you like to see-ee
Would you like to see-ee
Would you like to see our show
Would you like to see-ee
Would you like to see-ee
Would you like to see our show

Would you like to meet the lion tamer or the man
Who kicks up the sawdust in the nicest way?
Would you like to see the fire-eater take the stand?
The flames don't affect him in the slightest way
If you're feeling curiously interested in
Something new, then come on through, the show will soon begin

But if you come when the lights are down and ev'ryone is out of town
We'll put on a show, yes the best that you've seen yet
Yes if you come when it's late at night and ev'rybody's out of sight
We'll give you a performance you never will forget.

Would you like to see-ee
Would you like to see-ee
Would you like to see our show
Would you like to see-ee
Would you like to see-ee
Would you like to see our show

Take your time and make your mind up ev'rybody's here
Clowns and dwarfs and elephants, and lots of circus cheer.

Would you like to meet the lady with the crystal ball?
She looks in the future and she sees it all
Would you like to have a drink or two with big fat Joan?
She knows what it's all about at twenty stone
If you're feeling curiously interested in
Something new, then come on through, the show will soon begin

But if you come when the lights are down and ev'ryone is out of town
We'll put on a show yes the best you've seen yet
Yes if you come when it's late at night and ev'rybody's out of sight
We'll give you a performance you never will forget.
