IRVING BERLIN lyrics - The Circus Is Coming To Town

[1st verse:]

Honey, did you see that bill

Pasted there on yonder hill?

Kindly pay attention

To what the letters mention

'Twill give you a wonderful thrill

Chase away those weary blues

Ain't you heard the happy news?



[Refrain:]

'Circus is coming to town

'Circus is coming to town

Two dozen acrobats from o'er the foam

And Salome

Hip-hip-hippodrome

Come see the comical clown

Turning himself upside-down

Come and purchase a photograph

Of the freaks and the big giraffe

Open your dining room and start to laugh

The circus is coming to town



[2nd verse:]

Come and see the big parade

Jazzy music will be played

Just before we're seated

I'll see that you are treated

To peanuts and red lemonade

Barnum had the right idea

Come and give him one big cheer
