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 hey ... Djambo Djambo,
Don't be sad, for you know that the show must go on.
Hey 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 hey ... Djambo Djambo,
Don't be sad, for you know that the show must go on.
Hey 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 hey ... Djambo Djambo,
Don't be sad, for you know that the show must go on.
Hey 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.
