[Verse 1]
Ladies and gentlemen
Boys and girls
Step right up, step right up
Come closer, you won't believe your eyes
Behind this curtain
Witness something you've never seen before
Heard before, dreamt before
The most amazing show on earth
[Bridge]
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
It's the most amazing show on earth
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
[Verse 2]
Do you want to be wildy entertained?
People to know your name?
Do you crave fame?
Well, they say "things aren't always what they seem to be"
Even your greatest fantasies
You won't believe your eyes
Won't even recognize
The wonderment that lies
Behind the shimmer and the lights
[Verse 3]
Is it true what they say?
Is it all just fun and games?
Or is there more behind the makeup
And the faces full of paint?
[Bridge]
I ask you, do you want to come and play?
Hahahaha
Get the world to come and play
Hahahaha
[Outro]
Just sit back, relax, fasten your seatbelt
It's going to be a bumpy ride to the other side
