Heard you walking by my tent the other day Got up to perch my self upon my little legs A single glimpse of you could surely make my day But just then the elephant blocked your shining ray
Never asked to be this way - in the show I'll have to stay
As she was walking away I don't have much to say In a while I'll be alright It's the song of my life
I went to see the fortune teller the other day Asked her if things would ever go my way She dealt the cards then turned the other way Without a word she told me all she had to say
Never asked to be this way - in the carnival I'll stay
Guess tomorrow will bring another day Perhaps I'll stop and take some time to finally pray Lord it will be short I have not much to say But maybe in another town she'll look down my way
As she was walking away I don't have much to say In a while I'll be alright
