Barked the Barker to His Crowed
LADIES AND GENTS!
Focus your attention to these three tents
Full of amazing oddities from around the globe
Step right up, step right in
drop a dime you’ll get right in
Ladies and Gentlemen, It’s not a sin
You there man! Why the wait?
Why do you so hesitate?
Don’t want the girls see you faint?
Step right up then, step right in
drop a dime you’ll get right in
Some of what awaits you from deep within
Lydia, the gorgeous and mysterious tattooed girl from India
Buster, the sword swallowing little man from Tanzania
The mysterious frog boy Jim, They say he died from poison Gin
So Step right up, step right in
Drop a dime and you’ll get right in
Barked the Barker to his crowed.
