Lyrics
A funny thing is happening
So why aren't we laughing
There's all the clowns running around
So why aren't we laughing
They must be joking 'cause it's too hard to believe
I wonder what else they can pull out of their sleeve
The Greatest Show on Earth could not even complete
Buy your ticket take your seat
They can't help but fall down
Throwing all their weight around
So why aren't we laughing
They stumble to their feet
Like they never missed a beat
So why aren't we laughing
They say they know what's best
Now don't you think that's funny
They say it's for our good
But we know it's for money
They're making sure that no one else can take the stage
Hope it's not history's final page
The spotlight shows he wears no clothes
So why aren't we laughing
Maybe it is just because the joke's on us
And that's why we're not laughing
And that's why we're not laughing
And that's why we're not laughing
