Lyrics

Come look at the freaks
 Come gape at the geeks
 Come examine these aberrations
 Their malformations
 Grotesque physiques
 Only pennies for peeks
 Come look at the freaks
 Come look at the freaks
 They'll haunt you for weeks
 Come explore why they fascinate you
 Exasperate you
 And flush your cheeks
 Come hear how love speaks
 Come look at the freaks
 Ladies and gentlemen
 Step right up
 Right this way
 There is no wait
 We don't waste your time
 So little to pay
 Just one thin dime
 Gains you admission
 To my odditorium
 Never have you seen
 A comparable emporium
 Of wonders under one tent
 Your dime could not be better spent
 Come see a curious gal
 The Bearded Lady
 See a man
 Turned into a reptile
 As punishment for his sins
 Come hear the haunting song
 Of the Siamese twins
 Come see our elegant geek
 Refined but deadly
 Chicken necks delight his incisors
 Their heads decorate the mud
 His favorite cocktail drink?
 It's warm chicken blood!
 From the barren desert
 Of the heathen camel trade
 For our gentlemen friends
 The seraglio of a Hashemite sheik
 His harem was freed
 And we have found it quite unique
 For these girls are virgins still
 Had I arrived but an hour late
 That old sheik would have had his fill
 Come see God's mistakes
 The freaks God forsakes
 Take a look at the monster babies
 Dog men with rabies
 A bride of snakes
 And we don't harbor fakes
 Come see God's mistakes
 From the inky jungles
 Of the darkest continent
 You will witness first hand
 The ferocity of the Cannibal King
 We keep him chained up
 Because we know he's hankering
 From a taste of one of you
 And you are here for enlightenment
 Not as stock for cannibal stew
 Come look at the freaks
 Come gape at the geeks
 Come examine these aberrations
 Their malformations
 Grotesque physiques
 Only pennies for peeks
 Won't you please forgive me
 If I seem emotional
 For the stars of our show
 I am speaking of course
 Of the Siamese twins
 I adopted these girls
 And gave them moral disciplines
 Taught them standards
 Right from wrong
 I nurtured their musicality
 Let them charm you with their song
 Ah, ah, ah...
 Ladies and gentlemen, step right up!
 Right this way!
 See the freaks!
 They are here!
 They are real
 They are all alive!
 Inside!
