She Loves a Circus
The New Orleans Bingo! Show Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Whiplash chap-beeds?
Clowns that are whiskey?
A cheap plastic toy?
Wil ripple up-a-boy?
Then I'll hum down?
To boogie?
Pup bets?
Breasy at them?
He'll dream of peace
Now, camp place is over?
You cannot depend?
If pedros?
Juggling poodles
Then tore and broke the plates?
And we root for the tigers
Ho-o-o-o-o-oooeeee
This fucking tiger?
Molest our bad jokes?
The half-eyed beauties
All scary and close?
Toke-glass? don't let it ?
There's two kiss of goose?
And the elephant shits
And the kids all freak loose?
Target, up close, and look
Target, up close, and look at it....
Whooo
The lyrics of She Loves a Circus by The New Orleans Bingo! Show, are a jumble of seemingly nonsensical phrases that combine together to create a narrative about a girl who loves a circus. The song starts by showcasing different attractions of the circus that she enjoys like the clowns, the cheap plastic toys, and the wild animals. The lyrics then shift to describing the chaos of the environment, with performers like jugglers having mishaps and the tiger attacking the performers on stage. Despite the danger, the audience roots for the tigers in the performances.
The lyrics are full of nonsensical phrases and words stitched together, reflecting the chaos and surrealism associated with circuses. The song creates an unnamed protagonist, someone who is drawn into the chaos and becomes enthralled with the excitement of a circus. The song describes the sensory overload caused by the environment, where everything from elephants shitting to shattered plates can be overwhelming. It is possible to interpret the song as a commentary on the modern world and how it can be just as chaotic as the circus, with its own set of nonsensical phrases and events.
