The Democratic Circus

Found out this morning There's a circus coming to town They drive in Cadillacs Using walkie-talkies and the Secret Service Their big top, imitation of life And all the flags and microphones Have to cover our eyes We play the sideshows And we like the tunnel of love When we ride the Ferris wheel We're little children again When they're asking for volunteers We'll be the first ones aboard When the ringmaster calls our names We'll be the first ones to go to sleep Stealing all our dreams, dreams for sale They'll sell 'em back to you On with the show, start the parade We sand along, sweep us away It's political party time Goin' down, goin' down, comin' down And the celebrities all come out Comin' down, comin' down, comin' The sun is going down And the dogs are starting to howl We stay out after dark eating cotton candy And the music's playing, well How we all laughed! We split our sides! The camera flash! We almost died! The rain gonna pour on down, falling out of the sky Comin' down, comin' down And the celebrities all run out of the rain When it's down, comin' down, gonna rain Gonna rain, gonna rain Gonna rain, gonna rain, rain, rain, rain Now I wonder who's boss And who he's leavin' behind?
