Tiger Lillies - Circus Clown
C
Ice Cream and candy floss, parents with dosh,
C G
those were the times I liked best
G
Dancing the tango with my mon amour,
G C
better than all of the rest.
C
Children they laugh, children they scream,
C G
parents with balloons they all beam
G
Money is flooding into our tills
G C
but nothing is quiet what it seems
C
Street singers sing, pickpockets pick,
C G
girls on cheap wine are all sick
G
Lilly the prostitute parades her wares
G C
for you she will do any trick
C
Jimmy is selling crack at half price
C G
he will supply any vice
G
A fence a forged document he gives advice
G C
on anything not very nice
C
Circus clown, now your down
C G
in a sea of wine you have drowned
G
Circus clown, now your down
G C
in a sea of wine you have drowned
