Everybody Sing! Hat tips to Melissa Manchester and The Smoking Gun

And a one, and a two, and a one, two, three...




Baby cried the day
the circus came to town
'cause she didn't want
parades just passin' by her














So she painted on a smile and took up with some clown








While she danced without a net upon the wire











I know a lot about 'er 'cause, you see
Baby is an awful lot like me














Don't cry out loud
Just keep it inside,
learn how to hide your feelings

Fly high and proud
And if you should fall,
remember you almost had it all

Baby saw that when they pulled that big top down
They left behind her dreams among the litter

The different kind of love she thought she'd found
There was nothin' left but sawdust and some glitter
But baby can't be broken 'cause you see
She had the finest teacher-that was me-I told 'er



Don't cry out loud

Just keep it inside

and learn how to

hide your feelings

Fly high and proud

And if you should fall,
remember you almost had it all

Big Finale !!!!!

Don't cry out loud
Just keep it inside and learn how to hide your feelings




















Fly high and proud and if you should fall,
remember you almost had it all




And yes, these last two mugshots are of the same lady on two separate occasions four days apart.

I think I need a tissue.  ¶ 2:29 PM 5 comments
