The Day That The Circus Left Town
Words and Music by: Carolyn Leigh and E. D. Thomas
Performed by: Eartha Kitt (1955)
Sequenced by: Ron Tilden

I waved to the man with the golden baton,
And I waved thro' the rain pouring down,

And I waved till the last of the music was gone,
The day that the circus left town.

My heart still recalls when it seems to my mind,
That my heart only knows how to frown.

How my heart almost broke when they left me behind,
The day that the circus left town.

I asked for a job doing anything,
Feed the elephants, carry water, anything!

But the man said they didn't have anything
And turned me away, turned me away.

And away went the lions and the tigers so wild,
And away went my beautiful clown,

And away went my very last day as a child,
The day that the circus left town.

I waved to the man with the golden baton,
And I waved thro' the rain pouring down,

And I waved till the last of the music was gone,
The day that the circus left town.

My heart still recalls when it seems to my mind,
That my heart only knows how to frown.

How my heart almost broke when they left me behind,
The day that the circus left town.

I asked for a job doing anything,
Feed the elephants, carry water, anything!

But the man said they didn't have anything
And turned me away, turned me away.

And away went the lions and the tigers so wild,
And away went my beautiful clown,

And away went my very last day as a child,
The day that the circus left town.
