'T WAS TEA-TIME AT THE CIRCUS
(Brooker / Reid)
Procol Harum


'Twas tea-time at the circus: King Jimi, he was there 
Through hoops he skipped, high wires he tripped, and all the
while the glare 
of the aching, baking spotlight beat down upon his cloak 
and though the crowd clapped furiously they could not see
the joke 

'Twas tea-time at the circus, though some might not agree 
as jugglers danced, and horses pranced and clowns clowned
endlessly 
But trunk to tail the elephants quite silent, never spoke 
and though the crowd clapped desperately they could not
see the joke
