Hellacious Acres

Barbra Streisand · A Star Is Born [original soundtrack] [1976]

Look who's advertising, billboards everywhere

"See Hellacious Acres, your tailor made nightmare"

Traffic is backed up for miles

Attendants welcome you with devilish smiles



Steady, steady

Have your tickets ready

Steady, steady



Go to hell, after dark

It's a sin-filled city, an amusement park

It's a one way ticket to the other side

It's a Dr. Jekyll and a Mr. Hyde



And see Lizzie Borden, she's one of the stars

And Tricky Dicky barkin', flashin' you his pardon

Jack the Ripper slashin' your tires



Oh, even the Devil need money

Even the President need money

To cover his overhead



That's why he opened Hellacious Acres

Or so his press agent said

"Hang out with heavies, your partner's in crime

Forget the consequences, have a good time



Steady, steady

Have your tickets ready

Steady, steady



Go to hell, after dark

It's a sin-filled city, an amusement park

It's a one way ticket to the other side

It's a Dr. Jekyll, it's a Mr. Hyde



And get down and study suspicion and doubt

And at Hellacious Acres, listen, mischief makers

Admission's free, you pay to get out
