Oh Mr. Barnum

You told us all that this would be the biggest show that we'd ever seen
You said it would be huge the greatest of all time
That everybody here could have everything that they had ever dreamed
But now the crowd is getting restless thinking that you lied

And the Ringmaster is gone
It's just a clown down here all alone
Oh Mr. Barnum won't you please take your circus back home

It seems your Big Top tent ain't as large as you said that it would be
And all the things you said that we'd see inside are gone
No strong man, no dancing bears nobody swinging on trapeze
It's just one bearded lady down here to tell us nothings wrong

The Ringmaster is gone
It's just a clown down here all alone
Oh Mr. Barnum won't you please take your circus back home

It's your pride leading us to a fall
And you just act like it don't matter at all
Oh Mr. Barnum won't you please take your circus back home

The Ringmaster is gone
It's just a clown down here all alone
Oh Mr. Barnum won't you please take your circus back home

We wanted to believe you but now
We just want you to get out of town
Oh Mr. Barnum won't you please take your circus back home
