The 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 a 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 cocktail 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 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
The Boss: And we don't harbor fakes
All: Come see God's mistakes
The 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 Come look at the freaks Come gape at the geeks Come examine these aberrations Their malformations Grotesque physiques Only pennies for peeks
Attractions: Come inside Curiosity satisfied Come! See the underside Inside!
The 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...
The Boss: Ladies and gentlemen, step right up! Right this way! See the freaks! They are here! They are real They are all alive! Inside!
Buddy: This way, Mr. Conner. Over here.
Terry: Where are we going?
Buddy: To a showing of the Siamese twins
Terry: Siamese twins?
Buddy: I want you to hear them sing
Terry: Siamese twins?
Buddy: We're just in time Let's go inside
Terry: Is this some kind of joke?
Buddy: Not at all
Terry: Good. Because I'm a very busy man
Buddy: You won't be disappointed This could pay off big For both of us
Terry: How?
Buddy: First you have to see them
Terry: I don't like this place.
Buddy: But we're here We might as well stay I'll even pay
Terry: Ok, I'll help you spend your hard earned dough But this is not my kind of show
The Boss: Let me delay your fright The attractions don't bite Come inside
The Boss takes Buddy and Terry into the sideshow tent and they view the attractions - A sheik with 3 harem girls, a chicken-eating geek, a fortune teller, a bearded lady, a fakir with a snake girl, a reptile man, the odd 6th exhibit, Dolly Dimples, and the Cannibal King.
The Boss: Train the savage! Ladies and gentlemen, there is no cause for alarm! The Cannibal King has been subdued and is under our control! There is nothing to fear! Please remain in your seats! To experience our premiere attraction in its most revealing display. Scientists believe that Siamese twins come from the same life. And that their complete separation was retarded in some way. Perhaps while pregnant their mother witnessed dogs stuck together copulating They're called Siamese because Chang and Eng, the first widely known specimans, came from Siam. Siamese twins share everything. Yet remain completely separate in their minds, bodily functions and presumebly their souls. But enough about science. Sing girls, sing!
Daisy & Violet: Ah, ah, ah...
The Boss: Come look at the freaks
Attractions: Come inside
The Boss: Come gape at the geeks
Attractions: Curiosity satisfied
All: Come examine these aberrations Their malformations Grotesque physiques Only pennies for peeks Come look at the freaks!

Buddy: Those twins They have something
Terry: Something I'll never forget
Buddy: I can help them create an act And you could get them to vaudeville
Terry: What kind of act?
Buddy: Singing Siamese twins
Terry: You call that singing?
Buddy: Not exactly, but I could teach them. Look what I did with the Nubian Nightengale.
Terry: She needed help.
Buddy: I could really help the girls Teach them to sing Maybe to dance
Terry: Dance? Boy, you sure don't lack confidence.
Buddy: I like a challenge. You wouldn't believe some of the acts I've helped.
Terry: Yeah, I know. You're very ambitious, for an usher.
Buddy: But I can do a lot more And you can give me my break
Terry: But those twins!
Buddy: Exactly
Terry: Well I have to admit There's something those girls

Terry: Leave him to me.
Buddy: Gladly.
Terry: And if we get to meet them, let me do the talking.
Buddy: Whatever you say
The Boss: That was our last show today But would you gentlemen like to see more?
Terry: More?
The Boss: More of the Siamese twins They might be convinced to display their connection Up close and private for a small consideration
Terry: Consideration?
