lyrics

Dear Mr. Chainsaw Juggler
I saw you doing your thing
On the dance floor
At the circus
You looked so sad
Next to the lady with the mustache

Don't you remember my smile
I left a picture in the tent
Next to the check for your rent
With this letter
That your day job
Doesn't have to be the end

How do you know
How do you know (I just know)
How do you know
How do you know
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)

I know chainsaw juggling
Is in demand
But nothing in this world is so lucrative
That you can't breakdance
In your spare time
Leave those worries behind
Do the walk
Talk the talk
Then we'll go to my place
And pop the lock

Oh! When should we go?
When should we go? (Oh I don't know)
When should we go?
When should we go?
(Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)

Hey, I'm doing this for the money
Breakdancing is for the honeys
Apparently it's working
You can stop your lurking.

I noticed that look in your looking.
Baby, let's get cooking.

Tea was had. Songs were made. Ironically, sans piano. Then along came a wry jazz cat to lend a backbeat to their melodies, and extra pep in your step. And so it was. Just for you. ... more
