Carnival

Take me to the carnival Let me ride the rides Buy me a red balloon and Some sweet potato fries I don't care how long we stay As long as we can see Everything there is to see I want to see the bearded lady in her yellow dress I want to pray for the man on the highwire I want to gawk at the grizzly bear's arabesque And the man whose breathing fire How does a man breathe fire? Take me to the carnival I want to see the sideshows I think they are beautiful There goes the world's tallest Man He has trouble finding places to stand so They built a tent especially for him I want to see the Fiji mermaid swimming in her tank Taste the briny water she splashes with her tail Watch the Siamese twins as they glide and sway There goes a man with a bed of nails What good is a bed of nails? Take me to the carnival Let me ride the rides Buy me a red balloon and Some sweet potato fries I don't care how long we stay As long as we can see Everything there is to see
