Oh my little Honey
pin a rose on me
for I'm just as happy
as a bumble bee,
I must see that big parade,
Hear that old steam piano played
Got to hear the band a playing
down the street
Got to buy the tickets
for a big box seat
Oh see them
Oh! hear them
ain't that music grand
Let's go, Let's go
I've got to see that show.

On circus day
just see that mule
dressed up in pants,
See Salome do
the hootchie dance,
watch the acrobats tumbling down
see that great big funny clown
look out, for that big grizzly bear,
he's a fright, he will bite,
Oh! circus day
just comes around
but once a year
Oh! my Honey ain't
you glad we're here
All the side shows
we'll investigate
and the monkeys
we will pestercate
Oh! you circus day.

and the monkeys

Oh! you circus day.

Listen Honey listen
to the bugle blow
Keep your eyes wide open
and we'll see the show,
See that bareback rider jump,
see that camels great big hump
Elephants are dancing
to the circus tune
see the possum riding
on the big baboon,
Just hear them,
they cheer them
hear the people yell
Sit down, sit down
I want to see that clown.

On circus day

dressed up in pants,
