Irish Selection 1985:
Jacinta Whyte - "The Circus Song"

The Circus Song

Hey, ma, take me to the circus
I've just come from the parade
You wanna see the sight they made
Ah, please, ma, it's gotta be right now
Because tonight, they're movin' on
And tomorrow, they'll be gone

They've got a big, brass band
Got a balancing man
Got a team of the born acrobats
Who walk on a wire
Through burning fire

And on the high trapeze
Just meant to tease
Is a unicycle union team
Defying death
It makes you want to scream, ma

Hey, ma, take me to the circus
We've just missed the matinee
Only one show left to play
I've seen, ma, a lady with a monkey
It was right there in her hand
Doing tricks at her command

They've got a big, brass band
Got a balancing man
Got a team of the born acrobats
Who walk on a wire
Through burning fire

And on the high trapeze
Just meant to tease
Is a unicycle union team
Defying death
It makes you want to scream, ma

Makes you want to ѕcream, mа
