Yo La Tengo - Circus Strongman Runs For Pta President lyrics

The sword-swallowing circus strongman And his snake-charming tattooed wife Decided that they would become regular parents And just lead a regular life They bought a big house in the country With a hammock, a hill and a hedge There's a swing on the porch, a pond in the yard And a white picket fence around the edge And they lead a regular life The sword-swallowing circus strongman And his snake-charming tattooed wife Decided that they would become regular parents And just lead a regular life Now they're just a regular family now Having regular family fun With their fire-eating, fan-dancing daughter And their dog-faced contortionist son They lead a regular life Each weekend now, they wash the car And barbecue and jog They bought a great big TV set And a little Scottie dog
