Side Show: Act I: The Midway - Come Look At the Freaks

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!
