The Amazing Floating Man
Roll up roll up
For the best show in town
See him balance the books
As the markets crash down
And he never does much
He just does what he can
The amazing floating man
Oh don’t tun your backs
When the calliope calls
He will bring out the troops
And the best bally broads
So the show is in swing
As he takes to the stand
The amazing floating man
Gather one gather all
Its a sight to behold
Watch him twist your best hope
Into green and to gold
He’s been a highwire king
Since this circus began
The amazing floating man
When the grinder is still
When the season is dead
When the liberty horse
Has bolted its bed
He’ll be somewhere out there
Ploughing more fertile land
The amazing floating man
Roll up roll up
For the best show in town
See him balance the books
As the markets crash down
And he never does much
He just does what he can
The amazing floating man
