Story Behind the Song
"Big Top Candy" forms part of a series of Circus songs and narrative Anton Mulland and I wrote for EMI called "Let' Go To The Circus". Interestingly the cover illustration was drawn by a pop star! - Marty Kristian, formerly of "The New Seekers".
We also wrote an album in the same series called "Let's Go To Dinosaurland". You can listen to this here on mp3.com by visiting www.mp3.com/lgt
Lyrics
BIG TOP CANDY
- mullan/elliott
Verse 1
Daddy's got beer, mum's got gum,
But I just got my thumb, thumb, thumb.
So I gotta have candy, I gotta have pop,
Cos I'm going to a show at the great Big Top.
Chorus
BIG TOP CANDY
I need some candy to chew.
BIG TOP CANDY
You need some fizzy pop too.
Verse 2
Gimme no if's, gimme no buts
I gotta have a pound of peanuts.
I'm feeling fine, feeling dandy
Cos daddy bought me a heap of candy.
Chorus
Middle Eight
How about a burger, french fries, red sauce,
What about a toffee apple and some candy floss?
How about popcorn and some jelly beans?
Come on papa, don't be mean.
Chorus
Verse 3
The drums roll, the cannons roar
I'm stuffing candy in my jaw.
Bring on the clowns and start the fun,
Cos I got something sweet now in my tum.
Choruses to fade
