[Intro]

[Verse 1]
G                       Em      Am       D7
When the circus came to my Hometown
        G                  B     Em      A7
It was fine and funny and shiny new
G                    C       Bm          C
So when it left from my Hometown
        Am7             D7      G       D    G
Well of course I left with it too,  Wouldnt You?
 
F       G
 
 
[Chorus]
C
The Circus is a Wacky World, how I Love it
G                          C
Hocus Pocus, Bally whoo, Aint it Great?
        D
With the clown that always breaks you up
        F               C
The elephant that shakes you up
        Am              Dm7
The overture that wakes you up because
 
 
G7      G
 
 
C
The Circus is a Wacky World, its a riot
C                                    G       F
A raizz ma tazz and hoochie chooch, aint it grand?
        G                               C
What a jazzy world you find a scene until you are behind the scene
        G                                Am7     D7
And once you are behind the scene youll see
C                               F
The Circus is a wacky world, take it from me
Am                       C              D
But it aint at all what its suppose to be
Dm                   G       C
It aint what its suppose to be
 
 
F#     F#o    Dm
 
 
[Bridge]
Em              C                       F     Fm
The clowns dont smile, thats just a painted grin
F                      G7          G            C7
The bearded lady is a man, the fat mans really thin
C                       C7          G7
The toothless lion is anything but bold
G7                                                 C
The midget isnt small at all, hes only five years old
C                                         C7        F
The circus hasnt anything like what they say is in it
D                 C7     A7         Dm7       G7      C
But as old P.T. Barnum said, theres one born every minute
 
C
It isnt great, It isnt grand, tell me why it clicks?
C#7              C#              D7              G7
It isnt real, It isnt real, its just a bag of tricks
 
F       G7
 
 
[Chorus]
C                                   G
The Circus is a Wacky World, make believin
C                         C7
Hocus Pocus, Bally whoo, what a fake
         F                               C7
How you tend to lose the kick of it when you are in the thick of it
 
Am7                     D7              G7      D#7     G#7
How quick you find your sick of it and yet, and yet
 
C#                                   D#      G#
The Circus is the strangest place, cant explain it
C#                                G#   G#7  F#
When you start to play your part, its your home
        C#                            F
So you dont exactly live it up, you still would never give it up
A#                              A#m     D#7
How could you ever give it up, oh no
G#                                      C#
The circus is a wacky world where you can hide
C#                                      A#m     D#7
To escape the even whackier world outside
    D#m               G#7        C#      F#      C#
So step right up and start the show
