Look out for Mister Stork (Churchill / Washington)

Look out for Mister Stork
that persevering chap
he'll come along and drop
a bundle in your lap

You may be poor or rich
it doesn't matter which
millionaires - they get theirs
like the butcher and the baker

So look out for Mister Stork
and let me tell you, friend
don't try to get away
he'll find you in the end

He'll spot you out in China
or he'll fly to County Cork
so you better look out for Mister Stork

Look out for Mister Stork
he's got you on his list
and when he comes around
it's useless to resist

Remember those quintuplets
and the woman in the shoe
maybe he's got his eye on you

Casey Junior (Churchill / Washington)

It's Casey Junior's comin' down the track
comin' down the track with a smokey stack

hear him puffin', comin' 'round the hill
Casey's here to thrill ev'ry Jack and Jill

Every time his funny little whistle sounds (toot toot)
everybody hurries to the Circus grounds

Time for lemonade and crackerjacks
Casey Junior's back
Casey Junior's back again

Song of the Roustabouts (Churchill / Washington)

Hike, ugh, hike, ugh, hike, ugh, hike
we work all day, we work all night
we never learned to read or write
we're happy-hearted roustabouts

Hike, ugh, hike, ugh, hike, ugh, hike
when other folks have gone to bed
we slave until we're almost dead
we're happy-hearted roustabouts

Hike, ugh, hike, ugh, hike, ugh, hike
we don't know when we get our pay
and when we do, we throw our pay away
(when we get our pay, we throw our money all away)
we get our pay when children say
with happy hearts: "it's circus day today"
(then we get our pay, just watching kids on circus day)

Muscles achin', back near breaking
eggs and bacon what we need (yes, Sir!)
boss man houndin', keep on poundin'
for your bed and feed

There ain't no let up, must get set up
pull that canvas, drive that stake
want to doze off, get them clothes off
but must keep awake

Hep, heave, hep, heave, hep, heave
hep, heave, hep, heave, hep, heave
hep, heave, hep

Swing that sledge, sing that song
work and laugh the whole night long
you happy-hearted roustabouts

Pullin', poundin', tryin', groundin'
big top roundin' into shape
keep on working, stop that shirking
grab that rope, you hairy ape
poundin', poundin', poundin', poundin'
oh...

Baby mine (Churchill / Washington)

Baby mine, don't you cry
baby mine, dry your eyes
rest your head close to my heart
never to part, baby of mine

Little one when you play
don't you mind what they say
let those eyes sparkle and shine
never a tear, baby of mine

If they knew sweet little you
they'd end up loving you too
all those same people who scold you
what they'd give just for
the right to hold you

From your head to your toes
you're not much, goodness knows
but you're so precious to me
cute as can be, baby of mine

Pink Elephants on parade (Wallace / Washington)

Look out, look out
pink elephants on parade
here they come, hippety hoppety
they're here and there
pink elephants everywhere

Look out, look out
they're walking around the bed
on their head, clippety cloppety
arrayed in braid
pink elephants on parade

What'll I do, what'll I do ?
what an unusual view

I can stand the sight of worms
and look at microscopic germs
but technicolor pachyderms is really too much for me

I am not the type to faint
when things are odd or things are quaint
but seeing things you know that ain't can certainly give you an awful fright

What a sight
chase 'em away, chase 'em away
I'm afraid, need your aid
pink elephants on parade
pink elephants
pink elephants
pink elephants ...

When I see an elephant fly (Wallace / Washington)

I saw a peanut stand
and heard a rubber band
I saw a needle that winked its eye
but I think I will have seen everything
when I see a elephant fly

I saw a front porch swing
heard a diamond ring
I saw a polka dot railroad tie
but I think I will have seen everything
when I see a elephant fly

I saw a clothes horse he r'ar up and buck
and they tell me that a man made a vegetable truck
I didn't see that, I only heard
but just to be sociable I'll take your word

I heard a fireside chat
I saw a baseball bat
and I just laughed til I thought I'd die
but I been done seen 'bout everything
when I see a elephant fly

But I been done seen 'bout everything
when I see a elephant fly
(with the wind)
when I see a elephant fly
