Beneath The Big Top
Come one, Come all!
Come great, Come small!
To the circus!
So graceful
They fly with ease
Through the air in the trapeze!
Watch Josie
Our rubber girl
Bend her body, flip, and twirl!
See Monty
Master of the knife
Never hit the target, his dear wife!
See Miss Millie
And her elephant crew
Dance a number just for you!
Watch Ferdinand
Flip and walk the wire
A delicate balance is required!
See our
Horse rider acrobats
Do their tricks upon the horse's back!
Our acrobats
Cannot be beat
You are in for a real treat!
Watch how Jane
Sure does fly
Up in the air, into the chair, all with a closed eye!
Look who is also
Trained for the show
Watch those horses go!
See who has
Decided to appear
Those silly clowns are here!
That is sure
A lot to swallow
Such a hard act to follow!
Straight from
The African plains!
There's no beast Jonah cannot tame!
Our horse riders
At it again I see!
Harold likes to steal all the glory!
Here is Jacob
Master of the flame!
There's not a fire he hasn't tamed!
He does not burn
He breathes the flame!
Or eats the fire without pain!
Those silly clowns
At it again!
Nothing but foolish shenanigans!
Our snake charmer
Fatima from across the sea!
Her snakes obey her and cling to her body!
Vincent the Great!
Master of illusion
Magic, and escape!
Outside the Big Top
Gather around!
The freak show is in town!
Our wolf boy
Is covered in hair
Not an inch of his body is spared!
Our skeleton man
Eats like a horse
But never gains any weight of course!
Sarah was born
With two legs too many
She needs stockings and boots aplenty!
Folks did you ever see
A lady with a beard
As fine as our Bea!
Last but not least
Our giant Samson
And his miniature friend Tiny Tim!
