Greatest Show on Earth

My father was a clown in the circus and my mother was a singer on the stage

And I was just a kid in a cartoon world but I was about to come of age

The stripper used to babysit on Sunday the strongman used to swing me on his knee

I think I got a taste for the seedy side of life I guess it shows in the company I keep

And I'll be moving along to the next small town just waiting for something to happen

Just remember they pay for a real good show so make sure you're leaving them laughing

My sister used to be a lion tamer but now she doesn't do that stuff no more

After that close call she's now a human cannonball well I guess that you could say Susie ain't bored

And my brother oh my brother he's a barker Step right up he's yelling night and day

And me I'm just a kid in this cartoon world but I was about to come of age
