Lyrics

Hurry, hurry, step right up

See the saddest show 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...
