The Greatest Show On Earth (Is life)       Copyright Bucky Jones/Pat Kelley

(Optional ringmaster) “Welcome to the greatest show on earth....”

(Verse)
A three ring circus was really something to see
Aw, Elephants, lions and clowns and the flyin' trapeze
Some people say it was as good as a show can be
Well, I don't agree, 'cause as for me

(Chorus)
It's a shooting star racin' through the sky
Fireworks boomin' on the 4th of July
Kids splashin' in a creek in the summertime
The smile you see in your lover’s eyes
We get our ticket at birth
Yeah, the greatest show on earth is life

(Verse)
Before too long the big top was packed and gone
But on the stage of life, man the show goes on
Like the look of a mom when her baby's born
A small town parade when a soldier comes home

(Chorus) *Followed by instrumental break

(Bridge)
A little girl holdin' grand pa paw's hand, pink sprinkles on her nose at the ice cream stand
Young man so nervous he can hardly breathe, legs 'r shakin', down on one knee...and she says yes
Aw, she says yes

(Final Chorus)
It's a long home run in the bottom of the 9th
A full rainbow painting the sky
Sea of phone lights on a concert night
The sight of Old Glory flyin' high
We get our ticket at birth
Yeah, the greatest show on earth is life

(Outro)
Yeah, the greatest show on earth 
Aww, the greatest show on earth…is life
