Chords in this song · guitar

Tattooed we dance the tango,

in a melancholy way,

Bearded ladies, muscle men,

freaks entering the affray.

Crowds come in from the suburbs

to observe the perverse,

Jimmy the pick-pocket he's on the loose,

Mind out and watch your purse.

Frankie the brain damaged boxer,

he's only got left a year,

The local bums take him for a round

and for his blood they cheer.

Prostitutes do good business,

they'll gob you for a days rent,

And if it's a boy that you're after,

they're over behind the tent.

Dm A

A Dm

Roll Up, Roll Up, Roll Up, Roll Up, Roll Up.

Pimps count their money,

they think they've got a good job.

It's better than being a gangster,

it's better than being a slob.

Pin-heads, Siamese twins, midgets

They all shock the best they can.

The gypsy fortune teller,

she knows we're all damned.

Our life's a side-show attraction,

we do our best to please,

Our life is a side-show attraction,

death, decay and disease,

Dm A
