Time ain’t waiting for no one
But a rabbit with a clock
When you find that walking
Isn’t really working out for you
Catch a ride on a petal upstream
Three-legged dogs chasing babies
In a river full of marmalade
This clown is drunk and I am falling
Catch a ride on a petal back upstream
Time ain’t waiting for no one
But a back stream black cat in a funny coat
Smoke pouring from the mouth of the ringleader
Everybody sing it now
And we’re going to the circus with a freaky crowd
Crawling, running, flying, flipping
I’m getting high
I’m getting low
Going every which way that I can go
And now I’m floating
I’m floating!
Falling from a trapeze
Into a pair of Siamese twins
From a land far, far away
Who look you in the eye and tell you: “You must stay”
But something is wrong and I don’t know what it is
Close my eyes and fall down again
And when you’re feeling kind of low
Go to the Dirty Bourbon River Show
And we will play for you a song or two
And it goes a little something like this:
I don’t know what you’ve been told
But this ain’t no ragtime disco show
I’m singing: “Hi De Hi De Hi De Ho”
