Summer At The Circus
words and music by Bill Bourne SOCAN

Oh the summer sun is shining
Like a great red rubber ball
And the clowns along the midway
Are the biggest fun of all
With their eyes all painted smiling
And their hair an orangey hue
When it's summer at the circus
How can anyone be blue

And we are dancing in the dragon
Gone before our very eyes
In the nature of remembering
We are wearing thin disguise
There are silken dresses whirling round
In green and golden blue
When it's summer at the circus
And i fall in love with you

Matching wiser lions
In fierce retorts of woe
Chimps are swingin freely
They are dancin in a row
There are yellow ripe bananas
Hangin tooth and nail to you
When it's summer at the circus
How can anyone be blue

Im sendin my best wishes
I will kiss you if i can
I am casting off my comfort
Will you lift me if you can
The mid-day sun is shinin
Lighting up a sea of blue
When it's summer at the circus
In the dance of love with you

And we are dancing in the dragon
Gone before out very eyes
In the nature of forgiveness
We are wearing thin disguise
There are silken dresses whirling round
In green and golden blue
When it's summer at the circus
And i fall in love with you
When it's summer at the circus
In the dance of love with you
When it's summer at the circus
How can anyone be blue
