  • Verse 1
    Ah, one, 
    two, 
    three 
    four 

    The ma
    chinist 
    climbs 
    his 
    Fer

    ris 
    wheel 
    like 
    a brave 

    And 
    the fire- 
    eater's 
    lyin' 
    in 
    a pool 
    of sweat, 

    victim 
    of 
    the 
    heat 
    wave 

    Behind 
    the tent, 
    the 
    hired 
    hand 
    tightens 
    his 
    legs 

    on 
    the sword 
    swal
    lower's blade 

    Circus 
    town's 
    on 
    the 

    shortwave 

    Verse 2
    Well, the runway 
    lies 
    ahead 

    like 
    great 
    false 
    dawn 

    Oh, 
    fat 
    lady, 
    big 
    mama, 

    Missy 
    Bimbo 
    sits 
    in 
    her chair 
    and 
    yawns 

    And 
    the man- 
    beast 
    lies 
    in his 

    cage 
    sniffin' 
    pop
    corn 

    And 
    the midget 
    licks 
    his 
    finger
    and suf

    fers 
    Missy 
    Bimbo's scorn 

    Circus 
    town's 
    been 
    born 

    Verse 3

    Oh, 
    and 
    press 
    roll 
    drummer 
    go, 

    ballerina 
    to- 
    and- 
    fro 

    Cartwheelin' up 
    on 
    that 
    tightrope 

    With 
    cannon 
    blast, 
    lightnin' 
    flash, 

    movin' 
    fast 
    through 
    the tent, 
    Mars- 
    bent 

    He's 
    gonna 
    miss 
    his 
    fall, 
    oh, 

    God 
    save 
    the human 
    cannonball 

    And 
    the fly
    in' 
    Zambinis watch 

    Margarita 
    do 
    her 
    neck 
    twist 

    And 
    the 
    ring
    master 
    gets 

    the crowd 
    to count 
    along 

    Ninety- 
    five, 
    ninety- 
    six, 

    ninety- 
    seven 

    Verse 4

    A ragged 
    suitcase 
    in his 
    hand, 

    he steals 
    si
    lently 
    away 
    from 
    the 
    circus 
    grounds 

    And 
    the 
    highway's 
    haunted 

    by 
    the 
    carnival 
    sounds 

    They 
    dance 
    like 
    a great 

    greasepaint ghost 
    on the 
    wind 

    man 
    in baggy 
    pants, 

    a lonely 
    face, 
    crazy 
    grin 

    Runnin' 
    home 
    to some 

    small 
    Ohio 
    town 

    Jesus, 
    send 
    some 
    good 
    women 

    to save 
    all 
    your clowns 

    Verse 5
    And 
    cir
    cus 
    boy 
    dances 
    like 

    a mon
    key 
    on 
    barbed 
    wire 

    And 
    the barker 
    romances 
    with 
    a junkie, 

    she's 
    got 
    a flat 
    tire 

    And 
    now 
    the ele
    phants 
    dance 
    real 
    funky 

    and 
    the 
    band 
    plays 
    like 
    a jungle 
    fire 

    Circus 
    town's 
    on 
    the live 
    wire 

    Verse 6
    And 
    the strong 
    man 
    Samson 

    lifts 
    the 
    midget 

    Little 
    Tiny 
    Tim, 
    way 
    up 
    on 
    his 
    shoulders, 

    way 
    up 

    And carries 
    him 
    on 
    down 
    the mid
    way 

    Past 
    the kid
    s, 
    past 
    the sail
    ors, 

    to 
    his 
    dimly 
    lit 
    trailer 

    And 
    the Fer
    ris 
    wheel 
    turns 
    and 
    turn

    s like 
    it 
    ain't 
    ever 
    gonna 
    stop 

    And 
    the circus 
    boss 
    leans 
    over 
    and 

    whispers 
    into 
    the little 
    boy's 
    ear 

    Hey, 
    son, 
    you 
    want 
    to try 
    the big 
    top? 

    All 
    aboard, 
    Nebraska's 
    our 
    next 
    stop

    • 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

      Rose the Black Cat

      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 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      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!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      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.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
