Freak show

I put up a freak show

A spectacle for all to see

I do flips and tricks,

Juggle and flaming sticks

The audience laughs and cheers

If anybody jeers no one can hear

The thunderous applause

The whistles of approval

Pleases me and tickles my ears

I put up a convincing act

A performance no one can look past

Here in the circus

Here in my ring
