Henry Krieger - Come Look at the Freaks lyrics

[MALE COMPANY] Come look at the freaks Come gape at the geeks Come examine these aberrations Their malformations Grotesque physiques Only pennies for peeks Come look at the freaks Come look at the freaks They'll haunt you for weeks Come explore why they fascinate you Exasperate you And flush your cheeks [FEMALE COMPANY] Come hear how love speaks [ALL] Come look at the freaks [BOSS] Ladies and gentlemen Step right up Right this way There is no wait We don't waste your time So little to pay Just one thin dime Gains you admission To my odditorium Never have you seen A comparable emporium Of wonders under one tent Your dime could not be better spent Come see our curious gal The Bearded Lady See a man turned into a reptile As punishment for his sins Come hear the haunting song Of the Siamese twins Come see our elegant Geek Refined but deadly Chicken necks delight his incisors Their heads decorate the mud His favorite co*ktail drink? It's warm chicken blood! From the barren desert Of the heathen camel trade For our gentlemen friends The seraglio of a Hashemite Sheik His harem was freed And we have found it's quite unique For these girls are virgins still Had I arrived but an hour late That old Sheik would have had his fill [ALL] Come see God's mistakes The freaks God forsakes Take a look at the monster babies Dog men with rabies A bride of snakes [BOSS] And we don't harbor fakes [ALL] Come see God's mistakes [BOSS] From the inky jungles Of the darkest continent You will witness first hand The ferocity of the Cannibal King We keep him chained up Because we know he's hankering From a taste of one of you! And you are here for enlightenment Not as stock for cannibal stew [BOSS] Come look at the freaks Come gape at the geeks Come examine these aberrations Their malformations Grotesque physiques Only pennies for peeks Inside! [ATTRACTIONS] Come inside Curiosity satisfied Come! See the underside Ah... [BOSS] Won't you please forgive me If I seem emotional For the stars of our show I am speaking of course Of the Siamese twins I adopted these girls And gave them moral disciplines Taught them standards Right from wrong I nurtured their musicality Let them charm you with their song [DAISY & VIOLET] Ah, ah, ah... [BOSS] Come look at the freaks Come gape at the geeks [ATTRACTIONS] Come inside Curiosity satisfied [ALL] Come examine these aberrations Their malformations Grotesque physiques Only pennies for peeks Come look at the freaks!
