written by Kent LaVoie
F Bb Once upon my boyhood time C F The circus came to town Bb I remember church going people C F Talking the carnies down Bb C Misfits of society Bb C That's what they said to me Bb So I sneaked up close C And watched them work Bb C Gm7 C And found that actually F They laughed alot Bb They sang out loud F The way they walked C Made them look kinda proud Bb C A little different from you Bb C A little different from me Bb C Alot like the man who walked F Fsus F Fsus Through Galilee Mr. and Mrs. Goldstein Moved in next door to us The neighbors were indignant They put up quit a fuss The neighborhood had gone to pot And they had worked so hard So I sneaked out back Peeked through the fence And watched them do the yard They laughed a lot They sang out loud They looked just like the rest Of the crowd A little different from you A little different from me A lot like the man who walked Through Galilee C F Everyone is different C F But everyone's the same C F Riding around in circles G C7 C7sus C7 On life's mysterious train F Bb What if other people C F Thought that way of you Bb Too weak for the circus C F Too dumb to be a Jew Bb A plain old Joe C In wash 'n' wear suit Bb C Wasting his life away Bb C Or do they look in envy Bb C And do or don't they say copyright 1971 Famous Music / Kaiser Music
