It’s late at night
Can’t go to sleep
Eyes open wide
Doin’ the midnight creep
Well it’s just a holiday
For a circus dream
‘Cause I’m a music man baby
Hangin’ from a wire with no net below
You know I’m gonna catch you if you fall
Swirling dancers
Driftin’ in the night
Make you go crazy
Forget what is wrong and what is right
‘Cause the melody gonna make you high
Float you away like a cloud in the sky
And the music man with a song for you
A sweet Georgia minstrel who loves to sing the blues
Get it
Come and get it
When you get back home to your flat in the city
Notice that your neighbor has the radio on
Out of nowhere you gonna hear a sound
Movin’ through your head, spinning ’round and ’round
And the music man with a song for you
A sweet Georgia minstrel who loves to sing the blues
Get it
Come and get it
