The bear was dancing

Jumpin' up and down,

He clapped his hands,

Just like a clown,

Each time he pulled his chain so tight,


Everybody laughed with sheer delight.

And the red- eyed tiger flicks his tail,

He circles 'round to no avail,

Each time the whip cracked so

The crowd gave out a mighty cheer.

In baggy trousers

And a big red nose,

He brings a smile

Wherever he goes.

He sits his self up and then tumbles down,


We all laugh and cheer for

the sad- faced clown.
