- Harry Nilsson

Well in 1941 a happy father had a son

And by 1944 the father walked right out the
door

And in '45 the mom and son were still
alive

But who could tell in '46 if the two
were to survive

Well the years were passing
quickly

But not fast enough for him

So
he close his eyes through '55

And he opened
them up again

When he looked around he saw
a clown

And the clown seemed very gay

And he set that night to join that circus
clown and run away

{Scat solo}

Well
he followed every railroad track

An every
highway sign

And he had a girl in each new
town

And the towns he left behind

And
the open road

Was the only road he knew

But the color of his dreams

Slowly
turning into blue

The he met a girl the
kind of girl

He wanted all his life

She was soft and kind and good to him

So
he took her for a wife

And they got a house
not far from town

And in a little while

The girl had seen the doctor

And she
came home with a smile

Now in 1961 a happy
father had a son

And by 1964 the father
walked right out the door

And in '65 the
mom and son were still around

But what will
happen to the boy

When the circus comes to
town?
