Circus Procession
Open the gates, and draw the curtain,
Here comes something fine, that’s certain;
Louder the band begins to play,
Open the gates, and clear the way!
Enters a Queen with a King beside her;
Every horse is proud of his rider;
Two by two they march to the tune,
And hear the procession that will follow soon.
Men in livery, in their places,
Make peppy steeds keep their paces,
Soothing down their wildest fears
At the rising shouts and cheers
Jocko, in these sports a sharer,
Acts the part of a standard-bearer,
While behind him soldiers say
Bugle notes of victor
