lyrics

Flying monkeys!
Welcome to the circus that has flying monkeys!
Flying monkeys!
Welcome to the circus that has flying monkeys!

Watch them as they tumble through the breeze.
Watch them as they swing on the trapeze.
They are the most amazing thing you ever sees.
Flying monkeys! Flying monkeys!

Jumping ponies!
Welcome to the circus that has jumping ponies!
Jumping ponies!
Welcome to the circus that has jumping ponies!

Watch them as they saunter and they prance.
We import them all the way from France.
They even know the samba and the ballroom dance.
Jumping ponies! Jumping ponies!

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the swing intermission bit. I’m gonna use my ultra-pleasant voiceover voice to convince of the merits of buying stuff. Sure, you paid $85 for your ticket to this circus, but reckon we can sting you for just a little bit more!
A small box of popcorn, roughly the size of an iPhone box, is just $6.50. An American hot dog with your choice of ketchup or mustard is just $10. And a range of our branded merchandise – T-shirts, hoodies, baseball caps, cuddly toys, tea towels and stickers – starting at just $24.95.
Now back to the show.

Magic penguins!
Welcome to the circus that has magic penguins!
Magic penguins!
Welcome to the circus that has magic penguins!

They can make the monkeys disappear.
Where’d the monkeys go? They are not here.
[Seriously, where’d the monkeys go?]
Magic penguins!
Jumping ponies!
Flying monkeys!
Magic penguins! Jumping ponies! Flying monkeys!
Circus!!!
