Circus girl, how could you love me?
You're so far above me
You hang by your knees and your toes
Circus girl, can you even hear me?
Down in the crowd, I'm cheering loudest
How could you even see me down in the crowd?
Your silver skirt hangs back over your breast
Got beautiful legs
And you sparkle and flirt
And I don't mind lipstick
All over my shirt
You fly through the air
You've got princess hair
I'm really impressed
Circus girl, you fly higher than the House of Lords
And you look serene
Circus girl, your picture cheers hospital wards
And you met the queen
The ringmaster's hat is as black as a Wellington boot
He's mean, he cracks his whip
But if he tries to beat you, or dares to mistreat you
I'll give him some lip
