Bunkum's Travelling Show
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There's a big show down in the town, circus and zoo combined
Horses there with two legs in front and some with three legs behind
When Lady Godiva rode round she was mobbed
She showed us too much 'cause her hair had been bobbed
At Bunkum's Travelling Show you ought to go some time
Such wonderful freaks Mr. Bunkum has got
His wife I declare is the worst of the lot
Walk up, hurry along, walk up with your dough
The bearded lady wanders about
To see her beard you'd say without doubt
She'd swallowed a horse and left the tail hanging out
Down at Bunkum's Travelling Show
At Bunkum's Travelling Show you ought to go some time
To see the snake charmer I paid one and four
She commenced charming me, that cost half a quid more
Walk up, hurry along, walk up with your dough
The tattooed lady shows to her friends
A tattooed rainbow downwards it bends
I've seen where it starts, I'm going to see where it ends
Down at Bunkum's Travelling Show
At Bunkum's Travelling Show you ought to go down there
A girl in a trance so peacefully sleeps
She was hit with a brick and she's in it for keeps
Walk up, hurry along, walk with your dough
The giantess, a woman of might
Married Tom Thumb and she hooked him all right
And he hasn't been seen since his honeymoon night
Down at Bunkum's Travelling Show
