The Tiger Lillies - Cheapest Show lyrics
[The Tiger Lillies - Cheapest Show lyrics]
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
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
