If I Ran the Circus

If I Ran the Circus

In all aestait osn the most wonderful spotIs behind Sneelock's Store in the big vacant lot. It's just the right spot for my wonderful plans, " Said young Morris McGurk, " . if I clean up the cans. "

“ Nowafellowlikeme” saidyoungMorrisMcGurk “ Could get rid of this junk with a half hour's work. Icould yank up those weeds. And chop down the dead tree. And haul off those old cars. There are just two or three. And then the whole place would be ready you see. . ”

All ready to put up the tents for my circus. I think I will call it the Circus McGurkus. The Circus McGurkus The World's Greatest Show On the face of the earth, or wherever you go!

The Circus McGurkus! The cream of the cream! The Circus McGurkus! The Circus Supreme! The Circus McGurkus! Colossal! Stupendous! Astounding! Fantastic! Terrific! Tremendous! I'll bring in my acrobats, jugglers and clownsFrom a thousand and thirty-three faraway townsTo the place that you'll see 'em in, ladies and gents, Right behind Sneelock's Store, in the Great McGurk tents! And I don't suppose old Mr. Sneelock will mindWhen he suddenly has a big circus behind. . .

After all, Mr. Sneelock is one of my friends. He might even help our doing small odds and ends. Doing little odd jobs, he could be of some aid. . . Such as selling balloons and the pink lemonade. I think five hundred gallons will be about right. And THEN, Ill be ready for Opening Night!
