Well, in 1941 a happy father had a son 1941
And by 1944, father walks right out the door 1944
And in '45 the mom and son were still alive 45
But who could tell in '46 if the two were to survive
Well, the years were passing quickly but not fast enough for him
So he close his eyes through '55 then he opened them up again





But the color of his dreams were slowly turning into blue
The he met a girl, the kind of girl he wanted all his life

And they got a house not far from town and in a little while
The girl had seen the doctor and she came home with a smile
Well, in 1941 a happy father had a son 1941
And by 1944, father walks right out the door 1944
And in '45 the mom and son were still around 45
But what will happened to the boy when the circus comes to town
