Barnum's Steam Calliope by Sunset Four Quartette
Performed by
Sunset Four QuartetteBarnum’s Steam Calliope Lyrics
[Intro]
Ladies and gentlemen, we will give you a correct imitation of P. T. Barnum's steam caliopy
"Cal-ee-ope," not "ca-li-o-py"
[Verse 1]
When the moon, it climbs
To the mountain high
[Vocal solo]
And it climbed so high
'Til it reached the sky
[Vocal solo]
[Vocal imitation of a steam calliope]
[Verse 2]
Early in the spring
Birds begin to sing
[Vocal solo]
And they sang so loud
'Til they reached the clouds
[Vocal solo]
[Vocal imitation of a steam calliope]
