Swing, little girl, / Swing high to the sky. / And don't ever look at the ground. // If you're looking for rainbows, / Look up to the sky. / You'll never find rainbows, / If you're looking down. // Life may be dreary, / But never the same. / Some day it's sunshine, / Some day it's rain. // - Charlie Chaplin [Sir Charles Spencer Chaplin] (1889 - 1977): Swing Little Girl [Swing High Little Girl], the song at the beginning of The Circus
