We're Going To Make A Circus
This song was included as sheet music in a 1980 children's songbook by the name Game-songs with Prof Dogg's Troupe, produced by Inter-Action. The song is adapted from Leon's "We're Going to be in a Movie", and differs only inasmuch as the words are tweaked to fit the new subject matter (it is also transposed into a new key). When the changes were made is not clear, and there is presently no indication that Leon was a party to them, although the song is, nevertheless, copyrighted to him alone.
The book has been re-published by A&C Black, along with a cassette (later a CD) of the songs. "We're Going To Make A Circus" is therefore available in audio form, but Leon is not featured on the recording.

"'We're Going To Make A Circus' was originally a parade song for a street theatre show called 'We're Going to Make a Movie'. It was later adapted into a summer theatre project in which Prof Dogg's Troupe spend a day helping children prepare for and perform their own circus." - notes to the book, Game-songs with Prof Dogg's Troupe
