The Big Show



[Verse]
 * A happy shouting crowd comes from afar,
 * Houpla!
 * To see the big show taken off the car
 * Houpla!


 * They love the man in spangles,
 * Who from a trapeze dangles;
 * They love the lemonade
 * If made with pink shade


 * And how they love to hear the band
 * Ahead of our parade so grand!
 * They hear the bally hooman enraptured
 * They're captured.

[Burthen]
 * Step right in and see the show
 * Look for all the freaks you know
 * Hear the calliope starting to blow.


 * Bring your pal I hope he likes
 * Miss Tansey Trained Chimpanzee,
 * Signor Brady Bearded lady
 * See the clowns we all love so
 * With their jokes so long ago


 * Just watch the lions
 * They dance like Hawaiians
 * All at our great big show."

[Verse]
 * A "Congress of all Nations" here we show,
 * Hello!
 * To the Eskimau and man from Borneo
 * Hello!


 * The Midget Princess Toto
 * Will sell her latest photo!
 * Albinos with white hair
 * Sit there and stare


 * The tattooed man displays his marks
 * The dog faced boy replys with barks.
 * When yodels from Tyroleans singing
 * Come ringing.

[Burthen]
 * Step right in and see the show
 * Look for all the freaks you know
 * Hear the calliope starting to blow.


 * Bring your pal I hope he sees
 * the Zulu chewing Toulu,
 * Baby Bryant Lady Giant
 * See the clowns we all love so
 * With their jokes so long ago


 * Just watch the lions
 * They dance like Hawaiians
 * All at our great big show."
