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.
