Life is a three ring circusJust one little ride on a merry-go-roundGoin' round and round and round and round and round
Peak #5 on Billboard R&B and #36 on Hot 100 Song Lyrics Blue Magic - Three-Ring Circus (lyrics) 1974 1080p
Life is a three ring circusJust one little ride on a merry-go-roundGoin' round and round and round and round and round
He needs the love he spreads aroundBut in life he's just a clownTill they bring the curtain down Blue Magic - Three-Ring Circus (lyrics) 1974 1080p
The whistle blows as he makes his roundsHe's seen every town west of MississippiHe's just a face painted all in smilesJumpin' up and down and makin' people happy
Life is a three ring circusAll of the ups and downs of a carouselThat I know so well Blue Magic - Three-Ring Circus (lyrics) 1974 1080p
The song is characterized by lead singer Ted Mills' soaring falsetto, telling the story of a man who puts on a "happy face" for the world while suffering internally.
