Sophie's Circus (Part II The Play) Lyrics

The crowd's gaping and cheering
For flowers, mystically appearing
As the wagon train arrives in town
Heralded by a red haired clown

A little girl's leading the procession
With move's making strong impression
She's raising the mace in her hand
And that's the cue
For the band

La la la lala la
At dawn the circus has gone
But it's spirit
Its spirit lingers on

As the circus tent's magically erected
And the common rush's slowly abated
The directress leads off the show
Trapeze artists appearing in a glow

An illusionist's enchanting all the ladies
A beauty queen's taming beasts of Hades
And the audience is going wild
As the band plays beguiled

The stallion is dancing in masculine pride
With cat and dog mounted for a mad ride
And a pigeon enthroned on the crest
They're acting the tale of “Sophie's Quest”
