Well a sad little boy sat on a soapbox in Market Square 

He'd given words for free to all the people there. 

And though the song is the same, doesn't matter who plays, it's alright 

The paper said we'll win this war overnight. 



We were singing 

Step right up for a colurful revolution 



Now a bridge is the word for the war getting underway 

But you can't if you won't, and you could, but you dont want to stay 

And the American mind in its prime has got nothing to say 

But it's your American right to throw your vote away 



And we be singin' 

Step right up for a colorful revoultion 

Step right up 

Its the sound of the institution 



Oh no no words you know, you know nothing today (hey) 

But when it comes to get you, then what will you say? 

I wish the night was young 

(yeah - honky tonk) 



(you got it boy) 



And now the national defense is up in arms and out of cnotrol 

But since the market is good, the people said let it roll 

And though the song is the same, doesn't matter who plays, it's alright 

We can win this little war overnight 



We be singing 

Step right up 

Start a colorful revolution 

Everybody's got to 

Step right up 

Its the sound of the institution 



Step right up for a colorful revolution
