Tho Circus Band.

Over the hills and far away.
I hear the horns of the circus play,
Every day more loud and clear
AS the gilded caravan draws near,
"Oom- pah-oomr' goes the slide trombone,
With a festive note in it's strident tone,
While the futtering tips of banners gay
Wave over the hills and far away.
There's nothing can thrill in this whole
broad land
Like the blare and the glare of the circus
band.
The tunes are old. and the playing's lame.
But you tap to the music, all the same.
The "Oom- pah-oom!' of the slide from
bone
Has joyous Tilt to it's strident tone,
And hints of sawdust and canvas stray
From over the hills and far away
