Verse 1

Mission is a gambler

  The Wager, the one card to play

Priest has the burden

  He hates, the right thing, to say

Amid all the honour

  He sees, the wrong one, to share

Since child is an angel

  The duty, the one card prepare

Verse 2

Jury is a gabler

  The wager, the one card, to play

Judge has the burden

  He tells, the wrong one, to pay

Amid all the honour

  He puts, the wrong one, to trial

Since child is an angel

  No jury, but one card, so vile

Chorus

Come and play circus games

 Come and play at circus games

Come and play circus games

 Come and play at circus games

Come and play circus games

 Come and play at circus games

Instrumental

Verse 3

Mother is a gambler

  The wager, the one card, to play

Birth has this burden

  She says no children today

Midst all dishonour

  She sees a heavenly noose

Since child is an angel

  The mother, the one child, set loose

Chorus

Come and play circus games

 Come and play at circus games

Come and play circus games

 Come and play at circus games

Come and play circus games

 Come and play at circus games

Come and play circus games

 Come and play at circus games
