There’s a circus tent in my yard It’s big and wide, And stands with pride, A fortress at night There’s a circus tent in my yard In every yard on the block However empty they are in the day In the dark the clowns flock Big and tall Or micro small They all have the same wardrobe of despair I want to grab their hand And lean down man to man Say that I have joined a circus or two And know the feeling of solitude But they will simply honk their horns Look at me with scorn Because I do not know the Canadian cold Is what makes their noses red I do not know that their faces are frozen, not white painted on their head There’s a circus tent in my city It’s big and wide But there’s no clowns in sight Only people to pity For whom we cannot provide There’s a clown in my yard But he does not sit in a tent Instead he sports a suit and tie Seemingly never the bad guy Justin Trudeau repent!

There's a circus tent in my yard
There’s a circus tent in my yard It’s big and wide, And stands with pride, A fortress at night There’s a circus tent in my yard In every yard on the block However empty they are in the day In the dark the clowns flock Big and tall Or micro small They all have the same wardrobe of despair I want to grab their hand And lean down man to man Say that I have joined a circus or two And know the feeling of solitude But they will simply honk their horns Look at me with scorn Because I do not know the Canadian cold Is what makes their noses red I do not know that their faces are frozen, not white painted on their head There’s a circus tent in my city It’s big and wide But there’s no clowns in sight Only people to pity For whom we cannot provide There’s a clown in my yard But he does not sit in a tent Instead he sports a suit and tie Seemingly never the bad guy Justin Trudeau repent!
