At the average circus
We're fumbling like clowns
The lion tamer's boots are missing
And the lion's not around

It's the average circus
The trapeze act has the flu
His leotard is too small
And the nets are sagging too

There's a chance
That it might
All go horribly wrong
But you won't get a refund
The cashier's long gone

Oh the average circus
Was made for me and you
There's plenty of popcorn
And all the seats have a perfect view

At the average circus
The elephant is off the ball
The contortionist is stuck
And the tight rope took a fall

At our average circus
The tent was repossessed
The money lenders took our big top
And left us to get wet

The town won't have us
And we're barred from the village hall
It's not much of a circus
We're just jugglers against the wall

But I've got you, you've got me
And we'll go down in history
As the average circus
People don't mind to go and see

Yeah I've got you, you've got me
And we'll go down in history
As the average circus
People don't mind to go and see

They don't mind
They don't mind
People don't mind going to see us
The don't mind
People don't mind at all
