Sideshow

Step right up, hurry hurry
Before the show begins, my friend
Stand in line, get your tickets
I hope you will attend
It'll only cost you fifty cents to see
What life has done to those like you and me
See the man, with a broken heart
You'll see that he is sad
He hurts so bad
See the girl who has lost
The only love she ever had
There's got to be no sadder show to see
No doubt about it satisfactions guaranteed
So let the side show begin
Hurry hurry, step right on in
Can't afford to pass it by
Guaranteed to make you cry
Side show begin
(Hurry hurry) step right on in
Can't afford to pass it by
Guaranteed to make you cry
See the man, who's been crying
For a million years, So many tears
See the girl, who's collecting
Broken hearts for souvenirs
It's more exciting than a one man band
The saddest little show in all the land
