Hi Lily Hi Lo Tim Buckley

If you're ever in New York...(Is it a girl?)
If you're ever in New York, there's not very
Many carnivals going on
And that may not be much, but uh...
If you're used to a carnival every once in a while
Then New York doesn't have it
Then you gotta write a carnival song
But that don't really make it either
'Cause what's a song without a carnival?

The song of love is a sad song
For we have loved and it's so
So come and laugh a while Lily
Come and join the show
Hi lily lily hi
Lo lily lily hi
Lo lily lily hi lo

The circus comes once a year, Lily
Then we gotta go
So come and laugh a while Lily
Come and join the show
Come dancin', dancin' dance a while
Come dancin', dancin' dance a while
Come dancin', dancin' dance a while with me
