The Final Event: There Is a Sucker Born Ev’ry Minute (Reprise) Lyrics by Cy Coleman

Barnum (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

1992

[Barnum] (spoken)
'Course that was a long time ago. Joice Heth is gone and forgotten. So is the American Museum, and the living whale, and Jenny Lind, and my poor Tom Thumb, and then the Reuben's who came over on the Mayflower have gone to dust. Tom Jefferson's memory, and old Franklin's flown his last kite. So my kind of humbugs disappeared. Pity
[Barnum] (sung)
There was a sucker born ev'ry minute
Each time that second hand swept to the top
Like dandelions up they'd pop
Their ears so big, their eyes so wide
And though I fed them bonafide baloney
With no truth in it
