Lyrics
Devil Baby
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.
The freaks'll stay together
They're a tight old crew
You look at them
And they look at you
I love the ballyhoo girl
But she don't care
It's hard to find love anywhere
Hard to find love anywhere
The professor is the talker
He's the talking man
And if he can't clean a midway
Nobody can
He'll get the tip on in
From the midway mud
You gotta have the sawdust in the blood
Gotta have the sawdust in the blood
See the pig-faced man and the monkey girl
Come see the big fat lady
'gator slim with the alligator skin
Come see the devil baby
Springer is the talker
He's the talking man
He's got the whole studio
Eating out of his hand
You can be on too
With the nuts and the geeks
Call 1-800-ima frek
1-800-ima frek
Be the pig-faced man or the monkey girl
Come be the big fat lady
'gator slim with the alligator skin
Come be the devil baby
