I'm stuck right up, hurry, hurry, before the show begins, my friend
It's time to line, get your tickets, I hope you will attend
It only costs you fifty cents to see what life has done to those like you and me
See the man, a broken heart, see that it is sad, he's been so bad
So bad, so bad
See the man, a broken heart, see that it is sad, he's been so bad







There's a girl who's lost the only love she's ever had
There's got to be no sadder show to see
No doubt about it, satisfaction's guaranteed
So let the sad show begin
Hurry, hurry, step it right on in
Can't afford to pass it by
Guaranteed to make you cry
Let the sad show begin
Hurry, hurry, step it right on in
Can't afford to pass it by
Guaranteed to make you cry
See the man who's been crying
For a million years
Son of many tears
Son of many tears
See the girls
Collecting unbroken parts for souvenirs
It's more exciting than a one-man band
The saddest little show in the land
So let the sad show begin
Hurry, hurry, step it right on in
Can't afford to pass it by
Guaranteed to make you cry
Let the sad show begin
Hurry, hurry, step it right on in
Can't afford to pass it by
Guaranteed to make you cry
Let the sad show begin
Hurry, hurry, step it right on in
Can't afford to pass it by
Guaranteed to make you cry
Let the sad show begin
Hurry, hurry, step it right on in
Can't afford to pass it by
Guaranteed to make it roll
Side show begin
Hurry, hurry, step right on in
Can't afford to pass it by
Guaranteed to make it roll
Side show begin
Hurry, hurry, step right on in
Can't afford to pass it by
Guaranteed to make it roll
