Standard (EADGBE)

The lion he has got false teeth,

the fire eater is a cheat

the exotic dancer is antique.

The high-wire artist broke his nose,

the dancing bears got gangrene toes,

And all the artists need new clothes.

Cut price is the acrobat,

the fortune teller is a hack,

the clowns make up is all cracked

It's the cheapest show you've ever seen

with drop outs drug addicts & queens

its garish gaudy cheap and obscene.

Half the staff are pimps & whores

too old to do it anymore,

they're all old, ugly, stupid, or poor

The boss drinks like an unblocked drain

his wife is stupid, ugly, vain

they're so broke, they should elope to Spain

The big top it has got more holes

than a dart board its so old,

the cloth is rancid green with mould.

It's the cheapest show you've ever seen

with drop outs drug addicts and queens

its garish gaudy cheap & obscene.
