I went to the circus and what did I see
Bom, bom, bom, bom! A silly clown
Looking back at me. I asked him to show me.
I asked if he could, what makes the circus so good?
And he went juggling and tumbling and jumping in the air,
And he had the funniest face. Red and white with no hair.

I went to the circus and what did I see
Bom, bom, bom, bom! A dancer in a costume
Looking back at me. I asked her to show me.
I asked if she could, what makes the circus so good?
And she went dancing and springing and spinning like a top
She span so fast. I thought she’d never stop

I went to the circus and what did I see
Bom. bom. bom. bom! A trapeze artist
Looking back at me. I asked him to show me.
I asked if he could, what makes the circus so good?

Looping and zooming in his costume of red

I went to the circus and what did I see
Bom, bom , bom. bom! A tight rope walker
Looking back at me. I asked her to show me.
I asked if she could, what makes the circus so good?
And she went tip toe-ing along the rope with a gentle sway.
Balancing along the line. Breath-taking I say

I went to the circus and what did I see
Bom. bom. bom , bom! The ”Ring – master”
Looking back at me. I asked him to show me.
I asked if he could, what makes the circus so good?

And he said “Come one and come all!
Come and see the show! The fun and the thrills
Are the circus you know! The clowns and
The great feats. Come if you would. ’cause
That’s what makes the circus so good!!” { Repeat from **}
