The Greatest Show On Earth

I'm in the lobby of the motel 8

went on my lovely date

her name is doris day

i'm in a suit of burgandy

theres a deer head lookin at me,

its blowin my mind away,

everyone knows she's the killin kind

she keeps her 38 smith and wesson at her side,

i put a pistol in my pants cuz we're goin out to dance

where the water drinks like cherry wine.

tell me mama so it seems,

they say he been a bad marine,

they're shipping him home tonight,

tell me mama where's your other son, in jail with the other one,

you mustn't have raised 'em right.

i heard your low-life husband john got me to wonderin

what the scene was all about,

said i'm breakin my parole

goin down to jericho

gettin that money or i'ma beat it out



Ooooh happy days are here

its a perfect summer night and the moonlight's shining clear.

put your pistol in your purse cuz we're goin to gettysburg

to the stand of the greatest show on earth



Is that your daughter mr. kissinger

better keep an eye on her,

she been lookin' me up and down.

is that your woman in the coat of fur,

better keep an eye on her

this the ravenous part of town

i know about you and the deputy

how they found him shot dead in a mercury

some say you're paid to kill like that mean old buffalo bill

watch it buddy don't draw no gun on me



Ooooh happy days are here

its the perfect summer night and the moonlight's shining clear.

put your pistol in your purse cuz we're goin to gettysburb

to the stand of the greatest show on earth.
