作曲 : McLean | |
There was a mummy at the fair, all crumpled in a folding chair. | |
The people passed, but didn't care that the mummy was a man, so tell me if you can [Chorus:] | |
Who are you? | |
Who are you? | |
Where have you been, where are you going to? | |
Well, Andrew | |
McCrew must have lost his way ' | |
Cause though he died long ago he was buried today. [Verse 1:] | |
Down on nightmare alley, where the shady people sway a hobo came a-hikin' on a salty summer day | |
Well he hopped a freight in | |
Dallas, and he rode out of sight | |
But on a turn he slipped, and he lost his grip and he fell in-to the night. [Repeat Chorus] [Verse 2: (same chords as first throughout all other verses)] | |
Well, Andrew had one leg of wood, the other leg was small. | |
And when he fell off the train that night he found he had no legs at all. | |
Well they found him in the thicket, and the undertaker came. | |
And they mummified his body for a relative to claim. [Repeat Chorus] [Verse 3:] | |
But no one came to claim him, until the carnival passed through. | |
The carnies took him to their tent and they decided what to do. | |
Well they dressed him in a worn-out tugs and they put him on a stand. | |
And millions saw the legend called the 'famous mummy man'. [Repeat Chorus] [Verse 4:] | |
Well, what a way to live a life and what a way to die. | |
Left to live a living death with noone left to cry. | |
Petrified amazement, and wonder beyond words, | |
A man who found more life in death than life gave him at birth. [Repeat Chorus] [Verse 5:] | |
But what about the ones who live and wish that they could go. | |
Whose lives are lost to living and performing for the show. | |
Well at least you got the best of life until it got the best of you, | |
So, from all of us...to what's left of you...farewell, | |
Andrew...Mc... | |
Crew. |
