Jamboree (T Finn, P Judd, E Rayner, N Crombie, M G Lyrics

-==========================================================================-

 Roll up, roll up, to the jamboree
 Roll up, roll up, to the jamboree

 Roll up, roll up, troupers jamboree
 Old friends a-tend, long time no see
 Roll up, roll up, troupers come on down
 Big top, non stop, annual reunion

 I know what you're thinking, I know what you'll say
 But I gotta getta be, at the troupers jamboree
 There's safety in numbers, I'll never forget
 40 years ago, on with the show

 Distant voices calling, calling me
 Entertaining me
 Memories of the heydays
 With the better company

 I know what you're thinking, I know what you'll say
 But I gotta getta be, at the troupers jamboree
 There's safety in numbers, I'll never forget
 40 years ago, on with the show

 Roll up, roll up, troupers jamboree
 Old friends attend, long time no see
 Roll up, roll up, troupers come on down
 Big top, non stop, annual reunion

 Keeping a lonely vigil while the girls all have a ball
 The stories come out thick and fast, long, short and tall
 There's Frank du Preze on the flying trapeze
 Finally come down to earth
 Good `ol Chris the contortionist, is bent if not worse
 Dear `ol Merle the strip-tease girl, do anything for kicks
 And the `ol magician has disappeared, still up to his old tricks
 Well the gag man's been gagged
 And the straight man's gone straight
 The mime artiste too clever for words
 And the M.C's still late

 Oh Jamboree..  ..oh Jamboree!
