:29:01
Our life's a romance,
A melody composed by chance,

:29:04
Full of new delights.
:29:06
We prefer joy to misery,
:29:08
Intelligence to stupidity,
:29:12
Straight talk to hypocrisy,
:29:16
And gentle arms to gendarmes.
:29:20
We go from fair to fair,
Folks point and stare.

:29:23
They call us carnies
But poets are what we are.

:29:27
Today we frown,
Tomorrow laugh.

:29:29
Life's a double bill,
A tragedy of fate,

:29:32
A comedy of good will.
As friends we will grow old,

:29:37
Knights without fear or blame,
We haven't a penny to our name,

:29:45
But our hearts are made of gold.
:29:48
We go from place to place,
Across rivers and valleys.

:29:51
They call us carnies,
The road is our home base.
