The best laid plans


The Shepherd raises up his staff

And hurls it at the crowd

To the sound of a maniacal calliope

And Leo the Lion reclines on the throne

He had built by the boys in the band

And the crown upon his head reads

"By the Queen's decree"

Do we all agree

Luck knows no justice at all

Everyone's a self-made man,

there before the thing began

Making such a circus of the best laid plans

Everyone's responsible,

empty words and purses full

Making such a circus of the best laid plans

The clowns arrive in a pirate ship

And pose before the crowd

Hilarious remarks and inactivity

They throw the dog faced boy a bone

Command him to play dead

For the Hollywood and Hollywood infirmary

For the standard fee (repeat after me)

Luck knows no justice at all

Everyone was paid their fee,

I made you and you made me

And we made such a circus of the best laid plans

You can tell a big man by the company he fleeces

Step right on up here son see how your wealth increases

Get your Cross of Iron, get your thirty silver pieces...

Here's Dr. Dogma's smug prescriptions

Placebo cures of all descriptions

Shucking and jiving for the circus of the best laid plans

I wish I might, I wish I may

You've ruined my August and it's only May

I'm off to join the circus, dad

Of the Best Laid Plans

Everyone can fill their nose. Everyone can strike their pose

Welcome to the circus. The Circus of the Best Laid Plans

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
