The Tiger Lillies - Roll Up lyrics
[The Tiger Lillies - Roll Up lyrics]
In a melancholy way
Bearded ladies, muscle men
Freaks entering the affray
Crowds come in from the suburbs
To observe the perverse
Jimmy the pick-pocket he's on the loose
Mind out and watch your purse
Frankie the brain damaged boxer
He's only got left a year
The local bums take him for a round
And for his blood they cheer
Prostitutes do good business
They'll gob you for a days rent
And if it's a boy that you're after
They're over behind the tent
Roll Up, Roll Up, Roll Up, Roll Up
Roll Up, Roll Up, Roll Up, Roll Up, Roll Up
Pimps count their money
They think they've got a good job
It's better than being a gangster
It's better than being a slob
Pin heads, Siamese twins, midgets
They all shock the best they can
The gypsy fortune teller
She knows we're all damned
Our life's a side-show attraction, we
Do our best to please
Our life is a side-show attraction, death
Decay and disease
Roll Up, Roll Up, Roll Up, Roll Up
Roll Up, Roll Up, Roll Up, Roll Up, Roll Up
Roll Up, Roll Up, Roll Up, Roll Up
Roll Up, Roll Up, Roll Up, Roll Up, Roll Up
Roll Up
