The Queen of Sideshows

Hey da ba-ba,

Da hey da ba-ba,

Da hey da ba-ba,

The Queen of Sideshows!

Hey da ba-ba,

Da hey da ba-ba,

Da hey da ba-ba,

The Queen of Sideshows!

No one knows her given name,

Or how she came to be.

We don’t know where she comes from;

That remains a mystery.

She once lived in the shadows,

But then, the story goes,

She stepped into the light to be

The Queen of Sideshows.

Hey da ba-ba,

Da hey da ba-ba,

Da hey da ba-ba,

The Queen of Sideshows!

Hey da ba-ba da,

Hey da ba-ba da,

Hey da ba-ba,

The Queen of Sideshows!

For many years she topped the bill;

The circus’ Main Event.

But she had other plans,

To live a life outside the tent.

So when the master disappeared,

The circus forced to close,

She took his hat and crowned herself

The Queen of Sideshows.

She’s rotten with ambition,

And her dreams are written large,

The Circus Life is different

Now that Swallowfire’s in charge.

She’ll try to sell you miracles,

And wonders strange and odd.

The secret that she’s hiding is:

The whole thing is a fraud!

Nothing here is what it seems,

Or what it claims to be.

You’d best be very careful if

You plan to come and see.

Don’t believe a word she says,

The fiction or the prose;

The truth is that you cannot trust

The Queen of Sideshows.

Hey da ba-ba,

Da hey da ba-ba,

Da hey da ba-ba,

The Queen of Sideshows!

Hey da ba-ba da,

Hey da ba-ba da,

Hey da ba-ba,

The Queen of Sideshows!

Don’t believe a word she says,

Ask anyone who knows;

Remember you must never trust

The Queen of Sideshows.

Hey da ba-ba,

Da hey da ba-ba,

Da hey da ba-ba,

The Queen of Sideshows!

Hey da ba-ba da,

Hey da ba-ba da,

Hey da ba-ba,

The Queen of Sideshows!
