The party's over now
ย
So draw the curtains down
ย
Your secret's safe to keep
Unzip your velvet gown
ย
And let your hair hang loose
ย
Kick off your satin shoes
ย
Throw back the Ida down
Farewell to Friday's clown
ย
The circus is leaving town
Oh Ruby, roll your stockings down
Circus is leaving town
Oh Ruby, dry your eyes
ย
Fix up something to heap
ย
Still water still run deep
ย
The dogs are barking now
Get back out on the street
ย
The circus is leaving town
Oh Ruby, roll your stockings down
Circus is leaving town
So Ruby, dry your eyes
The party is over now
ย
Stop howling at the moon
ย
You need a different beat
You need a different tune
ย
Remember that old song
ย
We heard when we were young
ย
Life was an empty page
The world would ride upon
ย
Do you recall the meadow past
We sit and watch the hours pass
You were such a good girl then
Oh Ruby, dry your eyes
Circus is leaving town
Oh Ruby, roll your stockings down
Circus is leaving town
So Ruby, dry your eyes
You're searching when you walk
ย
You're searching when you talk
ย
You could make me believe
That the sun sets in the east
ย
The sun sets in the east
The sun sets in the east
