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? |
