The lion he has got false teeth, the fire eater is a cheat
The exotic dancer is antique.
The high-wire artist smashed his nose, the dancing bears got gangrened toes,
And all the artists need new clothes.
Cut price is the acrobat, the fortune teller is a hack, the clown's make-up is all cracked
Half the staff are pimps and whores, too old to do it any more,
They're all old, twisted, bitter and poor
The boss drinks like an unblocked drain, his wife is stupid, ugly, vain
And they're so broke they should elope to Spain
The big top it has got more holes than a dart board it's so old,
The top is rancid, green with mould.
It's the cheapest show you've ever seen
With drop-outs, drug addicts, old queens
It's garish, gaudy, cheap and obscene.
It's the cheapest show you've ever seen
With drop-outs, drug addicts, old queens
It's garish, gaudy, cheap and obscene.
It's the cheapest show you've ever seen
