The crowd's gaping and cheering
for flowers, mystically appearing
as the wagon train arrives in town
heralded by a red haired clown
A little girl's leading the procession
with move's making strong impression
she's raising the mace in her hand
and that's the cue
for the band
Na na na
At dawn, the circus has gone
but it’s spirit
it’s spirit lingers on
As the circus tent's magically erected
and the common rush's slowly abated
The directress leads off the show
trapeze artists appearing in a glow
an illusionist's enchanting all the ladies
a beauty queen's taming beasts of Hades
and the audience is going wild,
as the band plays beguiled
Na na na
At dawn, the circus has gone
but it’s spirit
it’s spirit lingers on
The stallion is dancing in masculine pride
with cat and dog mounted for a mad ride
and a pigeon enthroned on the crest
they're acting the tale of “Sophie's Quest”
