| And left our bankrupt circus on its own | B |
| There is nothing more for me to say | A |

| The maestro gives the singing birds their pay | A |
| And they buy tickets for the tropic zone | B |
| The telegram says you have gone away | A |

| The clever woolly dogs have had their day | A |
| They shoot the dice for one remaining bone | B |
| There is nothing more for me to say | A |

| He rents his poisons out by telephone | B |
| There is nothing more for me to say | A |

| The colored tents all topple in the bay | A |
| The magic saw dust writes address unknown | B |
| The telegram says you have gone away | A |
| There is nothing more for me to say | A |
