Album: N/A


Well, they came to town
With their elephants and clowns
On a hit sticky August day

And every telephone pole
Had a poster that told
Of the thrills that were coming our way

There were trapeze fliers
And men that ate fire
And things we never dreamed existed

And the radio and TV
Told us wed be
Fools if we dared to miss it.

Now all three rings
Held wondrous things
Marvels of every invention

But the big long shrouded
Shape in the corner
Increasingly drew our attention

There were bareback riders
Lions and tigers
And clowns in their itty bitty car

But every woman and man
And child in the stand
Had come to see the star

Then a hush fell on the crowd
As the men pulled the shroud
From the muzzle that was 30 feet long

And to screams and cheers
He finally appeared
And flamboyantly bowed to the throng

He wore red sequined tights
That sparkled in the lights
And boots that came to his knees

And a chromium
football helmet
And a cape that flapped in the breeze

And the dazzled crowd
Shouted out loud
You could hear them one and all

We want Hugo!
Hugo! Hugo!
The Human Cannonball

The aim was carefully calculated
The trajectory was precise

The charge was carefully measured
And poured into the loading device

The fuse was trimmed, the lights were dimmed
Hugo slid down the barrel and then

All was ready and Hugos daddy
Counted down from

Ten!
And the drums rolled

Nine
And our blood ran cold

Eight!
The ambulance stood by

Seven!
Several woman crie
