Believe it or not
It's the restless age
Give away, give away
Life is a carnival
Hey, buddy, would you like to buy a watch
Life is a carnival
Saw a man with the jinx
Two bits a shot
Real cheap? Here on the street
You can fly off a mountaintop
(Run away, run away)
Take another look
Take away, take away
People, you can't see
From trying to deal with people
From the peddler to the corner girl
The street is a sideshow
I got six on each arm
This house of mirrors
Look away, look away
And two more round my feet
(Look away, look away)
We're all in the same boat ready to float
(Take away, take away)
Off the edge of the world, the flat old world
Life is a carnival
Hey, buddy, would you like to buy a watch
Life is a carnival
Real cheap? Here on the street
And two more round my feet
(Give away, give away)
I got six on each arm
Believe it or not
If anybody can
You can turn the page
It's in the book
All the souvenirs
In the third degree
Life is a carnival
Run away, run away
Life is a carnival
