1
Well in 1941 a happy father had a son
2
And by 1944 the father walked right out the door
3
And in '45 the mom and son were still alive
4
But who could tell in '46 if the two were to survive
5
Well the years were passing quickly
6
But not fast enough for him
7
So he closed his eyes through '55
8
And he opened them up again
9
When he looked around he saw a clown
10
And the clown seemed very gay
11
And he set that night to join that circus clown and run away
12
[Scat solo]
13
Well he followed every railroad track
14
And every highway sign
15
And he had a girl in each new town
16
And the towns he left behind
17
And the open road
18
Was the only road he knew
19
But the color of his dreams
20
Were slowly turning into blue
21
Then he met a girl the kind of girl
22
He'd wanted all his life
23
She was soft and kind and good to him
24
So he took her for his wife
25
And they got a house not far from town
26
And in a little while
27
The girl had seen the doctor
28
And she came home with a smile
29
Now in 1961 a happy father had a son
30
And by 1964 the father walked right out the door
31
And in '65 the mom and son were still around
32
But what will happen to the boy
33
When the circus comes to town?
34
[Scat solo]
