Tattoo'd Lady

Tattoo'd lady, bearded baby

They're my family

When I was lonely, something told me

Where I could always be

Where I could wish for pennies

If you got any, you'd meet me down

At the shooting gallery

You know I'm a fair ground baby

Wonder what made me fall for the pearly queen

Well, I spent my youth under canvas roof

As I roamed from town to town

I'm not fooling when I say I got no schoolin'

Never liked the class bell sound

From inside the caravan

I hear the fairground band

Sounding good as they can be

You know I can't be found

If you look around

Tomorrow we'll be gone by dawn

Oh, yeah

I hear it on the loudspeaker say that

Fire-eater is a real fine sight to see

You know he's a death cheater, some kind of central heater

Be sure to save a seat for me

Let me tell you 'bout wicked Sadie, she's no baby

The law came and tried to close her sideshow down

But soon she had the DA cheering

The police chief wearing her garter for a crown, oh

I spent my youth under canvas roof

'Cause I roamed from town to town

I'm not fooling when I say I got no schoolin'

Never liked the school bell sound

From the caravan

I hear the fairground band

Sounding really good as they can be

You know I can't be found

And if you look around

Tomorrow I'll be gone by dawn

Tattoo'd lady, bearded baby

They're my family

When I was lonely, something told me

Where I could always be

Where I could wish for pennies

If we had any, you'd meet me down

At the shooting gallery

Fair ground baby

Wonder what made me fall for, for the pearly queen

Tattoo'd lady

Oh-oh

Hey, yeah
