Djambo, Djambo lyrics

The birds have known the old man for many years

His eyes have seen so much and look so mild

He’s up at four and early every morning

He feeds them and feels happy like a child

Once he was a clown in the arena

People said the best that ever was

Now they call him good old Djambo Djambo

But in his dreams, he still hears the applause

Hey hey hey… hey hey hey… Djambo Djambo

Don’t be sad, for you know that the show must go on

Hey hey hey… hey hey hey… Djambo Djambo

It was you who had us laughing, you’re the one

And sometimes you can see him on the sidewalk

With little boys and girls around his feets

When Djambo Djambo plays his barrel organ

Children call it circus in the streets

Suddenly his eyes reflect emotion

In Djambo’s mind, the limelight shines again

He’s back on stage and all the kids are laughing

Just as if the show would never end

Hey hey hey… hey hey hey… Djambo Djambo

Don’t be sad, for you know that the show must go on

Hey hey hey… hey hey hey… Djambo Djambo

It was you who had us laughing, you’re the one

Hey hey hey… hey hey hey… Djambo Djambo

Don’t be sad, for you know that the show must go on

Hey hey hey… hey hey hey… Djambo Djambo

It was you who had us laughing, you’re the one

It was you who had us laughing, you’re the one
