Hurry, hurry, step right up

See the sideshow in town for only fifty cents



Step right up, hurry, hurry before the show begins, my friends

Stand in line, get your tickets, I hope you will attend

It'll only cost you fifty cents to see

What life has done to those like you and me



See the man with the broken heart, you'll see that he is sad, he hurts so

bad [So bad, so bad]

See the girl who has lost the only love she ever had

There's got to be no sadder show to see

No doubt about it, satisfaction's guaranteed



So let the sideshow begin

Hurry, hurry, step right on in

Can't afford to pass it by

Guaranteed to make you cry



Let the sideshow begin (Hurry, hurry)

Hurry, hurry, step right on in

Can't afford to pass it by

Guaranteed to make you cry



See the man who's been cryin' for a million years, so many tears [So many

tears]

See the girl who's collected broken hearts for souvenirs

It's more exciting than a one man band

The saddest little show in all the land



So let the sideshow begin (Hurry, hurry)

Hurry, hurry, step right on in

Can't afford to pass it by

Guaranteed to make you cry



Let the sideshow begin

Hurry, hurry, step right on in

Can't afford to pass it by

Guaranteed to make you cry



So let the sideshow begin (Hurry, hurry)

Hurry, hurry, step right on in

Can't afford to pass it by

Guaranteed to make you cry



Let the sideshow begin (Step right on in)

Hurry, hurry, step right on in

Can't afford to pass it by

Guaranteed to make you cry (Hurry, hurry)



Let the sideshow begin (Step right on in)
