    Verse 1
    The 
    clown 
    sits 
    in 
    the 
    corner, 

    wipes 
    the 
    grease 
    paint 
    off 
    his 
    face 

    By 

    Tuesday 
    afternoon, 

    the 
    lot 
    will 
    hardly 
    hold 
    a 
    trace 

    Just 
    some 
    cotton 
    candy 
    mingled 

    with 
    the 
    saw
    dust 

    Just 
    an 
    echo 
    of 
    the 

    weekend's 
    rowdy 
    din 

    Now 
    the 
    roustabouts 
    have 
    put 
    the 

    tents 
    and 
    poles 
    back 
    on 
    the 
    trucks 

    The 
    oran
    gutan 
    is 
    looking 
    like 
    a 

    bum 
    down 
    on 
    his 
    luck

    The 
    flatbed 
    trucks 
    are 
    sagging 

    with 
    the 
    can
    vas 

    An
    d 
    they're 
    headed 

    down 
    to 

    Gibsontown 
    again 

    Say 
    goodbye 
    to 
    the 
    ele
    phants 

    Put 
    away 
    the 
    trapeze 

    All 
    the 
    jugglers, 

    clowns 
    and acrobats 

    They'll 
    scatter 
    with 
    the 
    breeze, 

    they'll 
    scatter 
    with 
    the 
    breeze 

    I 
    first 
    met 

    Bill 
    and 

    Joanie 
    in 
    the 
    spring 
    of 
    eighty 
    -four 

    I 
    was 
    liv
    ing 
    at 
    the 
    mission 

    like 
    I'd 
    often 
    done 
    before 

    They 
    came 
    looking 
    for 
    some 

    muscle 
    for 
    the 
    summer 

    I 
    was 
    stumbling 
    but 
    they 

    got 
    me 
    on 
    my 
    feet 

    Then 
    the 
    circus 
    troupe 
    became 

    a 
    second 
    fam
    ily 
    to 
    me 

    I 
    was 
    working 
    with 
    the 
    lions 

    by 
    the 
    spring 
    of 
    93 

    Those 
    big 
    cats 
    never 
    really 

    were 
    as 
    scary 

    As 
    the 
    things 
    I 
    saw 
    while 
    living 
    on 
    the 
    street 

    Say 
    goodbye 
    to 
    the 
    ele
    phants 

    Put 
    away 
    the 
    trapeze 

    All 
    the 
    jugglers, 

    clowns 
    and 
    ac
    robats 

    We'll 
    scatter 
    with 
    the 
    breeze, 

    we'll 
    scatter 
    with 
    the breeze. 


    The 
    winters 
    in 

    New 

    England 
    can 
    be 
    cold 
    enough 
    to 
    freeze 

    When 
    the 
    turnpike's 
    slick 
    with 
    ice 
    and 

    the 
    wind 
    cuts 
    through 
    the 
    trees 

    The 
    cats 
    and 
    I 
    play 
    in 

    nightclubs 
    and 
    casinos 

    But 
    my 
    heart 
    is 
    really 
    waiting 

    for 
    the 
    spring 

    When 
    I 
    know 
    I'll 
    hear 
    the 

    phone 
    ring 
    and 
    hear 

    Bill's 
    familiar 
    voice 

    He'll 
    ask 
    me 
    if 
    I'll 
    meet 
    him 

    like 
    I've 
    really 
    got 
    a 
    choice 

    Then 
    we'll 
    pull 
    into 
    some 

    town 
    and 
    raise 
    the 
    big 
    top 

    And 
    all 
    sum
    mer 
    we'll 

    make 
    magic 
    in 
    the 
    rain 

    Say 
    goodbye 
    to 
    the 
    ele
    phants, 

    put 
    away 
    the 
    trapeze 

    All 
    the 
    jugglers, 

    clowns 
    and 
    acrobats 
    will 
    scatter 
    with 
    the 
    breeze 

    I'll 
    scatter 
    with 
    the 
    breeze

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
