Circus Songs

Funny Clowns
(Sung to: "Frere Jacques")
Funny clowns, funny clowns.
Jump around, jump around.
Somtimes making faces,
Sometimes running races.
Funny clowns, funny clowns.

Funny clowns, funny clowns.
Spin around, sping around.
Sometimes with big noses.
Sometimes whe bit toes-es,
Funny Clowns, funny clowns

What Is A Funny Clown?
A funny clown who is short and fat,

A funny clown in a big tall hat.
A funny clown with a nose so red,
A funny clown with green hair on his head.
A funny clown who is very tall,
A funny clown so tiny and small.

Circus Song
I am walking through the circus,
Happy as can be.
I am walking through the circus,
Just to see what I can see.
I can see the clown laughing.
I can see the elephant, too.
I can see the lion sleeping.
Look out! He sees you.

Take Me Out to the Circus
Take me out to the circus
Take me out to the show
Buy me some peanuts and crackerjacks
I don't care if I ever get back
Cause it's clap, clap, clap for the jugglers
and laugh, laugh, laugh for the clowns
For it's one, two, three rings of fun at the old big top.
