The Tightrope Walker

While the band is playing

Back and forth I go

High above the people

Sitting far below

While the crowd is cheering

I sway from side to side

Now my act is over

And down the pole I slide

Under the Big Top

Under the Big Top what do I see?

A great big elephant smiling at me

Next to the elephant what do I see?

A fuzzy brown bear dancing for me

Next to the bear what do I see?

A lion with a mane roaring at me

Next to the lion what do I see?

A little seal doing tricks for me

Five Funny Clowns

Five funny clowns juggling balls galore

One tripped and fell then there were four

Four funny clowns up on a trapeze

One jumped off then there were three

Three funny clowns chewing bubble gum

One left to get some more then there was one

One funny clown having lots of fun

He left the circus tent then there were none

Little Color Clown

Little clown with a big red nose

Little clown with funny clothes

Little clown with a suit of yellow

Little clown a happy fellow

Little clown with a blue pointed hat

Little clown short and fat

Little clown with a fancy green collar

Little clown wants to be taller

Little clown with hair orange and bright

Little clown a jolly good sight

Little clown with two purple feet

Little clown a d real circus treat
