There's a big show down in the town, circus and zoo combined.

Horses there with two legs in front and some with three legs behind.

When Lady Godiva rode round she was mobbed

She showed us too much ‘cause her hair had been bobbed



At Bunkum's Travelling Show you ought to go some time

Such wonderful freaks Mr. Bunkum has got

His wife I declare is the worst of the lot.

Walk up, hurry along, walk up with your dough.



The bearded lady wanders about,

To see her beard you'd say without doubt.

She'd swallowed a horse and left the tail hanging out

Down at Bunkum's Travelling Show.



At Bunkum's Travelling Show you ought to go some time

To see the snake charmer I paid one and four

She commenced charming me, That cost half a quid more

Walk up, Hurry along, Walk up with your dough



The tattooed lady shows to her friends

A tattooed rainbow downwards it bends

I've seen where it starts, I'm going to see where it ends

Down at Bunkum's Travelling Show.



At Bunkum's Travelling Show you ought to go down there

A girl in a trance so peacefully sleeps

She was hit with a brick and she's in it for keeps

Walk up, Hurry along, Walk with your dough



The giantess, A woman of might

Married Tom Thumb and she hooked him all right

And he hasn't been seen since his honeymoon night

Down at Bunkum's Travelling Show.
