Welcome back my friends, to the show that
Never ends
We're so glad you could attend
Come inside, come inside
Next behind the glass, there's a real blade
Of grass
Be careful as you pass
Move along, move along
Come inside the show's about to start
Guaranteed to blow your head apart
Rest assured you'll get your money's worth
Greatest show in heaven, hell, or earth
You gotta see the show, it's a dynamo
You gotta see the show, it's rock and roll,
Oh!
Right before your eyes, we pull laughter
From the skies
And he laugh until he cries
Then he dies, then he dies
Come inside the show's about to start
Guaranteed to blow your head apart
You gotta see the show, it's a dynamo
You gotta see the show, it's rock and roll,
Oh!
Soon the gypsy queen in a glaze of vaseline
Will perform on guillotine
What a scene, what a scene
Next upon the stand will you please extend
A hand
To alexander's ragtime band
Dixieland, dixieland
Roll up, roll up, roll up
See the show
Performing on a stool, we've a sight to
Make you drool
Seven virgins and a mule
Keep it cool, keep it cool
We'd like it to be known the exhibits that
Were shown
We're exclusively our own
All our own, all our own
Come and see the show
Come and see the show
Come and see the show
See the show!
