The Fianna Faíl Circus is back in town,
Always guaranteed a decent clown,
Ringside tickets only half a crown
When the Fianna Faíl Circus is back in town.
Out comes the elephant into the night,
The crowd all holler with great delight.
Oh, never was seen such a wonderful sight
It’s the P-Pars elephant and it is white.
Ivor the Cannonball kid was tired,
He couldn’t get the help the job required.
Despite his protestations, though, it transpired,
That Bertie lit the fuse and he was fired.
Oh yes, the Fianna Faíl Circus is back in town,
Leotards shimmering and noses brown,
The acrobats tumble till the sun goes down
When the Fianna Faíl Circus is back in town.
Sean’s upset, he doesn’t know what to do,
He’s sick of cleaning out the lion’s pooh.
He says he wants a job with the performing crew,
But Bertie will not grant him an interview.
Síle says to Bertie, “Won’t you help me please?
I need someone to catch me on the high trapeze.”
Bertie says, “No problem! It’ll be a breeze!”
But he gives a sly smile as he hangs by his knees.
Oh, the Fianna Faíl Circus is back in town,
The Chief Whip appears in his dressing gown,
The price of admission may cause a frown
But the Fianna Faíl Circus is back in town.
From up in the cheap seats, there’s heckles at
The murky machinations of the acrobat.
Bertie shields his eyes and he waves at Pat,
But Enda isn’t too impressed at that.
Cracking the whip is the ringmaster’s art,
Though you mustn’t upset the apple-cart.
In top hat and tails, he’s dressed for the part,
Though many people say he’s too Billy Smart.
Oh yes, the Fianna Faíl Circus is back in town,
A Big Top performance of great renown,
They don’t have a net, just an eiderdown
When the Fianna Faíl Circus is back in town.
