The lion he has got false teeth,
the fire eater is a cheat
the exotic dancer is antique.
The high-wire artist broke his nose,
the dancing bears got gangrene toes,
And all the artists need new clothes.
Cut price is the acrobat,
the fortune teller is a hack,
the clowns make up is all cracked
It's the cheapest show you've ever seen
with drop outs drug addicts & queens
its garish gaudy cheap and obscene.
Half the staff are pimps & whores
too old to do it anymore,
they're all old, ugly, stupid, or poor
The boss drinks like an unblocked drain
his wife is stupid, ugly, vain
they're so broke, they should elope to Spain
The big top it has got more holes
than a dart board its so old,
the cloth is rancid green with mould.
It's the cheapest show you've ever seen
with drop outs drug addicts and queens
its garish gaudy cheap & obscene.
