Saw the add in the paper, said, the hell with it all
Took a gig with the circus as the Human Cannonball
It didn't take long to learn my trade
Very first show, man, I blew the folks away
Now the job's a little risky but I'm my own boss
I gotta tell ya, Jack, it really gets me off
I live in a tent with The World's Strongest Man
When I met him broke my hand
My baby, she's a lady in the high wire act
When I'm feeling tense, she walks on my back
Now the pay's okay, the benefits are great
I get to shoot the bull with the World's Smartest Ape
I'm the Human Cannonball
I'm the Human Cannonball, y'all
Well, I'm a hot shot, I'm a cool breeze
Underneath the big top, I'm the big cheese
I lay it on the line, let it all hang
Where I go, least I know, I'll go with a bang
I reckon, I'ma living every kid's dream
It's a buzz, it's a gas, it's a real scream
I'm the Human Cannonball
I'm the Human Cannonball, y'all
Alright folks, just make yourself at home
Have a snow cone and enjoy the show
They put me on the cover of the USA Today
Tell the world what the Human Cannonball got to say
On the 'Carson Show', they're saying, HC
What you do you got to be right outta your trees
Well, it's a little risky but I'm my own boss
I got to tell you, John, it really gets me off
I'm the Human Cannonball
I'm the Human Cannonball, y'all
I'm the Human Cannonball
I'm the Human Cannonball, y'all
