Verse 3
And if I had my own (G major) way
I (C major) always say that phrase (F major)
I thought it was a (C major) phase
But (G major) it wasn't
(C major) And so
Verse 4
here I am (Caug)
(Eaug) In my baggy-clown (F major) costume

(G major) throw a kiss to the (C major) audience (G major)
(C major) And I'm wearing a mask (Caug)

(C major)
Verse 6
And there's a monkey
in the background

And (C major) I'm the villain,
acting (G major) fierce
And stretching whiskers (C major)
(G major) toothsomely

Long (C major) trousers and a derby
(F major) Stands erect (C major)
And cracks the whip loudly (G major) (D major)

We were go (C major) ing to have
a circus (G major) in the (C major) bar (G major)
(C major) Can't pull the curtain (Caug)
Verse 9
I can (F major) 't help remember (F sharpdim) ing
(D major) Turn a somersault (C major) after
singing (D major) (D minor) (C major) a verse (G major)
(C major) And the song
Verse 10
is never (Caug) ending
(F minor) And I nev (F major) er quit re (D major) hearsing
A perform (C major) ance of (G major) a sad
and twisted (C major) art (G major)
And if I had my own way
I (C major) don't know what I'd do
I (F major) probably wish it was (C major) you (G major)
