lyrics

CHORUS: It’s time to put this show on the road
It’s time to pack my bags and get up and go
It’s time to put this show on the road
It’s time to pack our bags and get up and go
It’s time to put this show on the road
And tell the funny stories to everyone you know

It feels like such a shame to be leaving
(show is over, show is over)
When it seems like we just set up this circus tent
(party’s over, party’s over)
Well we had lots of fun But the last act is done
I can feel the time slipping away (time is slippin’)
How do you say goodbye to the greatest day?
(it’ll never be like this again)
But I’ve got news for you There’s something you can do
Remember that time is a thought in your mind
And if we all stick together we’ll turn out fine
So before this chapter is over, Grab my hand
Hold it tight And every little thing that comes after this will be alright

CHORUS


And, when the last tent pole was put into the caravan
The wheels started turning
And the entire circus slowly crept away from town
Gazing from the windows of each car and truck
Tears streamed down the faces of the performers
As they longed for days gone by
The circus spotlights that had gone dim
But then, as if a beacon were up ahead, their eyes turned toward the road that lay in front of them
And the high flying adventures that waited ahead
And the caravan began picking up speed
And the circus moved toward the next town…

CHORUS

And the children of Springfield watched and waited until the caravan was out of sight.
