Lyrics
Cheapest 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.
The lion he has got false teeth, the fire eater is a cheat
the exotic dancer is antique.
The high-wire artist broke his nose, the dancing bears got gangrened toes,
& all the artists need new clothes.
Cut price is the acrobat, the fortune teller is a hack, the clowns make up is all cracked
It's the cheapest show you've ever seen
with drunks drug addicts & old queens
its garish gaudy & obscene.
Half the staff are pimps & whores
too old to do it anymore,
they're all old, ugly, stupid, poor
The boss drinks like an unblocked drain
he's ugly stupid & he's vain & he's so in debt he should elope to Spain
The big top it has got more holes than a dart board
its so old, its gangrened green with mould.
It's the cheapest show you've ever seen
with drunks drug addicts & old queens
its garish gaudy & obscene.
