Ringling Road

Train rolls in at 10:00 AM

Kill the lamb for the lions, find some water for the elephants

The monkey on my shoulder got a monkey on his back

Could I bum a cigarette, he done smoked my last pack

Throw up the big tent, throw down the sawdust

We don't open 'til tomorrow, so step right up

We got beer for the bearded lady

And the Siamese twins are into opium

The trapeze guys are all high on cocaine

That they bought from a guy that used to drive the train

We got water for the elephants

Everybody knows the greatest party on earth

Is the circus down on Ringling Road

Well, the tattoo man is makin' out with snake lady

Just to piss off the human cannonball that she been datin'

The clown got wasted and he's throwing his shoes

At a bear on a bike with a bottle of booze

The tightrope walker is to damn high

Welcome to a freakshow Friday night

We got beer for the bearded lady

And the Siamese twins are into opium

The trapeze guys are all high on cocaine

That they bought from a guy that used to drive the train

We got water for the elephants

Everybody knows the greatest party on earth

Is the circus down on Ringling Road

Ringling Road

Down on Ringling Road

We got beer for the bearded lady

And the Siamese twins are into opium

The trapeze guys are all high on cocaine

That they bought from a guy that used to drive the train

We got beer for the bearded lady

And the Siamese twins are into opium

The trapeze guys are all high on cocaine

That they bought from a guy that used to drive the train

We got water for the elephants

Everybody knows the greatest party on earth

Is the circus down on Ringling Road
