The Grand Spec

You want to see something
To set your spine tingling
Something that blows Ringling
Out of the ring

You want to feel something
You know is real; something
Beyond the paler things
You always feel

You've always felt something
Was out there just waiting
To be revealed - something
That makes it all worthwhile

Here in Benzini's Ring
Is where you'll find the thing
That makes you shout
(Hurrah!)
That makes you stand
(Hurrah!)
That makes you laugh
(Ah)
That makes you smile

Have we got acrobats
You'll have to hold your hats
While they perform the trapeze
Into the air they'll sail
At such a speed that they'll
Produce a palpable breeze

(Ah)
(Ah)
(Ah)

Juggling juggernauts
Tumbling titans cross
Tossing all caution aside
Nearly colliding
As fluid and frightening as
Lightning igniting the sky

What's next?
What's next?

You want to feel alive
You want to be inside
You want to be perspiring after every act
You want your heart to race
You want to clutch your face
Out of the sheer amazement of your optic tract

Ladies and gentlemen
Now entering the ring
Two splendid renderings of grace
One beautiful, one bestial
One strong, one celestial
Complete in each other's embrace

You've never seen anything ever so evident
Of being heaven-sent as these
Marlena and Rosie
Benzini's back in business!

Ode to an elephant
Proud and regal
Ode to an elephant

Coming around the bend
Before our show can end
It's something better than the rest
