Let's join the carnival, the caravan
'Cause I wanna learn to play the accordion
That'll pay our rent, that'll pay our rent
And then we can meet
We'll meet the strongest man in the world

Salome clad in red with the velvet claws
She's there behind the mosquito net
You can just make out her silhouette

We'll escape the cities and the factories
Sell the tickets to all the people that we meet
Throw our caution to wind and do just as we please
Throw our caution to the wind and do just as we please

Well, the clouds did swell
But the crowds did come
And all the little children were sneaking in
Somehow the tent held up

A man with a cape and a wand
He's come to take us along, so hop on board
Bring child, bring neighbor
Bring friend, come all

We'll escape the cities and the factories
Sell the tickets to the people that we meet
Throw our caution to the wind and do, yeah, just as we please
Throw our caution to wind and do, yeah, just as we please

Let's join the carnival, the caravan
And I'll play the accordion
I've always wanted to meet
They say, they say, he's the strongest man in the world
I heard them say

We'll escape the cities and the factories
Sell all the tickets to the people that we meet
Throw our caution to the wind and do, yeah, just as we please
Throw our caution to the wind and do, do just as we please

Come join the caravan
