Mr. Feffer owned the Feffer circus His circus had shoobrups and lokinglaxes The ring master was Mr. Feffer himself He had lions and tigers and higglywinks oh my He always said there could be more than what meets the eye He has skydiving turkeys and grandparent acrobats
“His circus is wacky” said Mrs. Slacky
But Mr. Feffer thinks Shoobrups and lokinglaxes and lions and tigers and higglywinks are actually quite the charm And skydiving turkeys make a great alarm With the grandparent acrobats are very aliving
At the Feffer circus they have all sorts of junk even a pack of Peppery lunk Mr. Feffer created the Peppery lunk with Mr. Chunk Mr. Chunk slept on a bunk with brother who was a monk
By the way, Mr. Feffer has a pink link of a higglywink in his circus
Well I, Sam Pie who want to work at the circus as the boy with one eye I walked up to Mr. Feffer with a half pound of pepper And without thinking I asked him if I could work for him as checking the weather He said okay and I was on my way If only Heather McFeather was here my mind would be clear
Well she came to me riding on a higglywink The higglywink was a pink and was named Ink I said hi and then she said goodbye She told me she got the job as the girl with one eye
So Mr. Feffer’s Circus was with Shroorups and lokinglaxes and lions and tigers and higglywinks and skydiving turkeys and grandparent acrobats and Peppery lunks and the girl with one eye all except me Mr. Sam Pie

Great Atomic Wedgie
It will make you jump It will make you shout It will make you hot and edgy It will make you sweat It will make you cry It's the Great Atomic Wedgie
If you are smaller It will make you taller And you better eat your veggies Cause there's no bigger fright In the middle of night Than the Great Atomic Wedgie
