[Verse 1]
Love is like a circus and a carnival is beautiful to see
Love can turn your mind around like ferry wheels and spinning carousels

You will be a part of the world of make believe
Flying high like a man on a trapeze

[Chorus]
Oh, everyday is a holiday
Get your tickets right away
Love, love, love
Is the Greatest Show on Earth

[Verse 2]
The fantasy you see is like a child again through rainbow colored eyes
Step right up it is circus time and get your money’s worth of love today

You will be a part of the world of make believe
Flying high like a man on a trapeze

[Chorus]
Everyday is a holiday
Get your tickets right away
Love, love, yea
Is the Greatest Show on Earth

[Chorus]
Everyday is a holiday
Get your tickets right away
Love, love, love
Is the Greatest Show on Earth

[Outro]
Love, love, love
Is the greatest show on earth (yea e yea)
Love, love, yea
Is the greatest show on earth
Love, love, yea

Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson was born on August 29, 1958, in Gary, Indiana. Jackson began his career when he was seven years old as the lead singer of the Jackson 5, breaking into stardom in 1969 after signing into Motown. The Jackson 5’s first four singles all peaked at number one on the Billboard 100, and soon after Michael pursued a solo career.

His breakthrough fifth album, 1979’s Off The Wall produced four top ten hits (including “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough”) and sold 20 million copies, establishing him as a household name. The album was followed with 1982’s Thriller, which became the best selling album of all time, and was the first album to feature seven top 10 singles, including “Billie Jean” and “Beat It.”

In 1985, Michael contributed to the collaboration single “We Are The World”, which remains one of the best-selling singles of all time and raised nearly $65 million for famine relief.
