Lyrics

Do you come here often?
Have I seen you before?
You sound familiar when I hear you roar
I wonder do you know what you’re here for
It’s another day at the circus

Make yourself at home in the lions den
Where we plan her downfall once again
Come our revolution, not if, but when
On our last day at the circus

With whips and chains they make us leap
Through flames and hoops
An intrinsic part, we’re the beating heart
Of this travelling troupe

You take the left, I’ll take the right
When she prods you with her stick keep her occupied
I’ll make my move when she can’t hide
On her last day at the circus

She’ll place her head inside your jaws
I’ll creep behind on silent paws
We’ll perform a ‘Coup de Cat’ for applause
On our last day at the circus

Standing in the cage is all the rage for feline tricks
We’ll take our stand before it’s banned but we’ll make it quick
And if we can we’ll kill the man who runs this place
We’ll show no fear then disappear without a trace

Then we’ll go home, back to the plains
We’ll never see this damned cage again
We’ll escape the ownership of men
And we won’t come back to the circus

She’ll soon regret the epithet of Lion Queen
We’ll be the most notorious cats there have ever been

Do you come here often?
Have I seen you before?
You sound familiar when I hear you roar
I wonder do you know what you’re here for
It’s another day, another day,
It’s just another day at the circus
