Side Show (Original 2014 Broadway Cast Recording)

[MEN] Come look at the freaks The pygmies and geeks Come examine these aberrations Their malformations Grotesque physiques Only pennies for peeks Come look at the freaks Come look at the freaks [WOMEN] They'll haunt you for weeks Ah ah ah... Come explore why they fascinate you Exasperate you And flush your cheeks [WOMEN] Come hear how love speaks [ALL] Come look at the freaks [THE BOSS] Ladies and gentlemen Step right up Right this way There is no wait We don't waste your time So little to pay Just one thin dime Gains you admission To my odditorium Never have you seen A comparable emporium Of wonders under one tent Your dime could not be better spent Come see our curious gal The Bearded Lady See a man with an extra appendage Instead of two legs, there's three Come see our tattooed girl She's a walking marquee Come see our elegant Geek Refined but deadly Chicken necks delight his incisors Their heads decorate the mud His favorite cocktail drink? It's warm chicken blood! From the barren desert Of the heathen camel trade The Lizard Man of Khartoum An encounter with him will mean certain doom And from the Far East See this intriguing specimen Is it woman? Is it man? I guess you'll be satisfied either way With half and half from [?] Come have your fortune foretold Then see a boy who's a dog, haha! The living Venus de Milo, lacking both arms And from the Siberian Tundra, the world's tiniest Cossacks He's punctured, he's pierced He's the human Pin Cushion! [ALL] Come see God's mistakes The freaks God forsakes Take a look at exotic creatures The mangled features The mess God makes [THE BOSS] And we don't harbor fakes [ALL] Come see God's mistakes [THE BOSS] From the inky jungles Of the darkest continent Time to witness first hand The ferocity of the Cannibal King We keep him chained up Because we know he's hankering From a taste of one of you! And you are here for enlightenment Not stock for cannibal stew [spoken] Oh, what's this now? Not the bloody chains again! For God's sake! Save the poor boy, he'll be eaten! That's it [?]. Mind his teeth, you could lose a finger! [sung] Ladies and gentlemen With great pride, misty eyed I now present the stars of our show No duo is more simpatico Though their condition is called "abnormality" They've developed charm and gifts of musicality Their bond immutably strong Just listen to their haunting song [DAISY & VIOLET] Ah, ah, ah... [THE BOSS, spoken] Scientists told me that Siamese twins come from the same life germ and that their complete separation was retarded in some way. Perhaps while pregnant, their mother witnessed dogs stuck together, copulating. They're called "Siamese" after Chang and Eng, the first widely known specimens. Siamese twins share everything and yet remain completely separate in their minds, bodily functions and presumably their souls. But enough about science! Sing, girls! Sing! [DAISY & VIOLET] Ah, ah, ah... Ah, ah, ah... [THE BOSS] [ATTRACTIONS] Come look at the freaks Spread the word The pygmies and geeks Tell the world what you've Seen and heard [ALL] Come examine these aberrations Their malformations Grotesque physiques [THE BOSS] Only pennies for peeks [ALL] Come look at the freaks!
