Everyone Comes To The Freak Show

Hurry, hurry, hurry
Step right up and you will see on display
A collection of some of the strangest specimens
Ever gathered together, both live and preserved

You will see the incredible Jello Jack
The boneless boy and Herman The Human Mole
You'll see Wanda The Worm Woman
And Mickey The Mumbling Midget
With his secret from far beyond the realm
Of human understanding

There's also Benny, bouncing Benny The Bump
Who can't wait to show you the eerie and shapeless mass
Which he hides beneath his shirt
And shows only when he does his famous dance
The Bouncing Bump

So, step this way, folks come on in, you know you can't resist
Come in and make your mundane lives look like the kiss of bliss
Everyone comes to the Freak Show, to laugh at the freaks and the geeks
Everyone comes to the Freak Show but nobody laughs when they leave

Once a man exploded just before he went to sleep
When his wife awoke she found some fragments of his feet
She wondered what had happened but there was no mouth to say
Or lips to kiss or even any tears to wipe away

She went to see a priest and asked if death could be much worse
Than knowing what was left of love would fit inside her purse
Someone said that nothing hurts you, like a vice without a virtue
That may be but is it worse than life when it becomes so certain
That your eyes cannot be open, to the twisted and the broken?
