lyrics

"MR. BARKERS ECLECTIC SIDESHOW
& TRAVELING MENAGERIE"
©2022Heisner, BMI
Lyrics: R. & R. HEISNER / Music: robby heisner

Mr. Barker runs the sideshow
in the traveling Menagerie.
People come from miles around
to get their chance to see

The Two headed baby
Schlitzie the pinhead or
The Rubber skin man
Spend your day On the midway
And see everything you can

Stand in line, get your tickets
The tall man will let you in
Tip your hat, Take your seat
The show will now begin

THERE’s A three legged dog
a man eating chicken and
the incredible penguin girl
Then a fortune teller tells you secrets
Then your head slowly starts to swirl

Chorus:
hurry, hurry Step right up
For the Greatest Show in town
Come one come all don’t be late
Intriguing and profound.
Mr. Barkers Eclectic Sideshow
and Traveling Menagerie

Strike up the band The air is electric
For the man on the flaming trapeze
Hold your breath As they defy death
While clowns bring you to your knees

See the bearded lady
the girl with no torso
And the human tattoo
but on closer inspection
You catch your reflection
And realize the freak is you.
