Circus Day In Dixie 1915

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 15 Aug 2005

Come to town, oh honey,
come to town,
have you forgotten that
it's Circus Day in Dixie?
Let's go down, we'd better hurry down
Where the crowd is cheerin'
that parade is nearin'
Hear the music sweet!
That's for the dancers
who don't move their feet.
Gee! there's goin' to be
lots of things I'm just dying to see!

Circus Day in Dixie,
Circus day in Dixie,
Always is a holiday.
You better hurry, honey,
the parade is comin'
led by the leader man,
don't he look mighty grand!
And see the funny lion,
seems as if he's tryin'
to keep time with the ragtime band.
Here come the clowns
who wear the funniest clothes,
there's one who looks
just like my old Uncle Mose!
And see the cunnin' little monkeys
ridin' on the donkeys
at the Circus down in Dixieland.

Circus Day in Dixie,
Circus day in Dixie,
Always is a holiday.
You better hurry, honey,
the parade is comin'
led by the leader man,
don't he look mighty grand!
And see the funny lion,
seems as if he's tryin'
to keep time with the ragtime band.
Here come the clowns
who wear the funniest clothes,
there's one who looks
just like my old Uncle Mose!
And see the cunnin' little monkeys
ridin' on the donkeys
at the Circus down in Dixieland.

First let's see the big menagerie,
follow the crowd this way
to see the main attraction.
Step right in, they're ready to begin;
Gee! I'm all excited,
glad I've been invited.
Oh! before we go
we've got to see that Turkish
dancin' show.
Ev'rybody's here?
Circus Day only comes once a year!

Circus Day in Dixie,
Circus day in Dixie,
Always is a holiday.
You better hurry, honey,
the parade is comin'
led by the leader man,
don't he look mighty grand!
And see the funny lion,
seems as if he's tryin'
to keep time with the ragtime band.
Here come the clowns
who wear the funniest clothes,
there's one who looks
just like my old Uncle Mose!
And see the cunnin' little monkeys
ridin' on the donkeys
at the Circus down in Dixieland.

Circus Day in Dixie,
Circus day in Dixie,
Always is a holiday.
You better hurry, honey,
the parade is comin'
led by the leader man,
don't he look mighty grand!
And see the funny lion,
seems as if he's tryin'
to keep time with the ragtime band.
Here come the clowns
who wear the funniest clothes,
there's one who looks
just like my old Uncle Mose!
And see the cunnin' little monkeys
ridin' on the donkeys
at the Circus down in Dixieland.
