The Carnival Is Closed Today

Norman Sachs, Mel Mandel

[Verse 1]
Once we walked so starry-eyed
Where confetti fell
But now the faded posters say
"The carnival is closed today"

[Verse 2]
Ferris wheel standing still
Empty carousel
My bright balloon has flown away
The carnival is closed today

[Bridge]
Yesterday's calliope
Piped so happily
As merry the merry-go-round
Went round and round
Cracker jacks and kewpie dolls
Laughing clowns were we
How hollow the laughter can sound
And sound, and sound, love

[Verse 3]
Silly clown, go on home
It's over, can't you tell?
He found another place to play
The carnival is closed today

[Bridge]
Yesterday's calliope
Piped so happily
All these foolish yesterdays
Laughing now at me
How hollow the laughter can sound
And sound, and sound, love

[Verse 3]
Silly clown, go on home
It's over, can't you tell?
He found another place to play
The carnival is closed

[Outro]
Oh, the carnival is closed
The carnival is closed
Today
