Squirrel Nut Zippers - Conglomeration of Curios lyrics

This way, ladies and gentlemen
This way to see the
Greatest conglomeration of curios
Ever gathered together under one canvas
Tent in the universe
Never before has anyone seen such
A marvelous collection of rarities
As we have assembled here before you
See Prince Juju, Bobo the Sword Swallower
He is also a snake
Charmer, ladies and gentlemen
He eats 'em alive!
See the wonderful Princess Karma
Perform a wonderful dance
On a platform suspended above the
Heads of all the audience
To myriad rays of tiny electric lights
And the weird music of a tom-tom orchestra
She performs this dance on the pallid
Surface of a silver dime!
Bring your wives, friends and children
Or they will reproach you in later life
For this uncalled-for lack
In their education! For one dime, ten cents
Two nickels you can be instructed
And let me tell you ladies and gentlemen
That although her feet are perfectly rigid
Every nerve! Every muscle!
Every fiber! Moves like jelly in the bowl!
