Life Is a Carnival

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
You can walk on the water, drown in the sandYou can fly off a mountaintop if anybody canRun away, run away, it's the restless ageLook away, look away, you can turn the pageHey, buddy, would you like to buy a watch real cheapHere on the streetI got six on each arm and two more round my feetLife is a carnival, believe it or notLife is a carnival, two bits a shotSaw a man with the jinx in the third degreeFrom trying to deal with people, people you can't seeTake away, take away, this house of mirrorsGive away, give away, all the souvenirsWe're all in the same boat ready to float off the edge of the worldThe flat old worldThe street is a sideshow from the peddler to the corner girlLife is a carnival, it's in the bookLife is a carnival, take another lookHey, buddy, would you like to buy a watch real cheapHere on the streetI got six on each arm and two more round my feetLife is a carnival, believe it or notLife is a carnival, two bits a shot
