 Tattoo'd Lady, bearded baby they're my family
                                                       
 when I was lonely something told me where I could always be
                                  
 where I could push the penny If you've got any  
                                          
 you'll meet me down at the shooting gallery
                                     
 yes, I'm a fairground baby  
                                          
 wonder what made me fall for the pearly queen
                
                                                          
 Spent my youth under canvas roof as I roamed from town to town
                             
 I'm not foolin' when I say I got no schoolin' 
 *                         * 
 never liked the school bell sound
 <                      <   
 from inside the caravan, I hear the fairground band 
 <                       *
 sounding good as they can be
 <                           <   
 you know I can't be found but if you look around 
 <                       
 tomorrow we'll be gone by dawn, Oh yeah
 
                  
 Now hear it on the loud speaker say
                                     
 the 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 side show down
                                  
 but soon she had the D.A. cheering
                                           
 the police chief wearing her garter for a crown
 
                                                             
 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 school bell sound
 <                      <  
 from inside the caravan, I hear the fairground band 
 <                      *
 sounding good as they can be
 <                           <      
 you know I can't be found But if you look around 
 <                       
 tomorrow we'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 push the penny If you've got any  
                                          
 you'll meet me down at the shooting gallery
