作词 : Brennan, Waits | |
Well Zenora Bariella | |
And Coriander Pyle | |
They had sixteen children | |
In the usual style | |
They had a curio museum | |
And they had no guile | |
All they ever wanted | |
Was a show biz child | |
So on the 7th of Dec. 1949 | |
They got what | |
They'd been wishing for | |
All of the time | |
He grew up in a trailer | |
By the time he was 9 | |
He rolled off to join | |
The circus... telling fortunes | |
On the side | |
Hail Hail, the Eyeball kid | |
Well the first time I saw him | |
Was a Saigon jail | |
Cost me 27 dollars | |
Just to go his bail | |
I said your name will | |
Be in lights... | |
And that's no doubt | |
But you got to have | |
A manager that's what | |
It's all about | |
People would point | |
People would stare | |
I'll always be here | |
To protect you and to | |
Cut down on the glare | |
I know you can't speak | |
I know you can't sign | |
So cry right here on | |
The dotted line | |
Hail Hail, the Eyeball kid | |
Well he was born with out a body | |
Not even a brow | |
I made the kid a promise | |
I made the kid a vow | |
He's not conventionally handsome | |
He'll never be tall | |
He said "all you got to do is | |
Book me into Carnegie Hall" | |
Hail Hail, the Eyeball kid | |
He's just a little bitty thing | |
He's just a little guy | |
But women go crazy | |
For the big blue eye | |
They say how does he | |
Dream? How does he think | |
When he can't ever speak | |
And he can't ever blink? | |
I said Hail Hail, the Eyeball kid | |
Hail Hail, the Eyeball kid | |
Give it up and throw me down | |
A couple of quic | |
Everybody wants to see | |
The Eyeball kid | |
How dies he dream | |
How does he think | |
When he can't even speak | |
And he can't even blink | |
We are all lost in the | |
Wilderness we're as | |
Blind as can be | |
He came down to teach us | |
How to really see | |
Hallelujah | |
Hallelujah | |
Hallelujah | |
So give it up and throw | |
Me down a couple of quid | |
Everybody wants to see | |
The Eyeball kid | |
Eyeball kid | |
Eyeball kid |
