Tinsel Show - Hue & Cry

Come on down my friends, let the show begin

Got a wondrous

It’s full of fantasies of lust and shame

Get all the good stuff but accept no blame

Find it playing there when your eyelids close

Turn up your collar, babe, and it’s in your clothes

In every word you speak and your private thoughts

Don’t hit the stage too long or you might get caught

Maybe up there you will live forever

Maybe up there you’ll have romance

We’ll be finding our sweet place together

When you get your big chance on the tinsel show tonight

It’s a big chance on the tinsel show tonight, yes, my baby

It’s a Barnum and Bailey world from the top right down

The citizen, he smiles like a circus clown

You better polish up your act or you won’t get paid

Don’t say what you do, girl, just do what they say

Maybe up there you will live forever

Maybe up there you’ll have romance

We’ll be finding our sweet place together

When you get your big chance on the tinsel show tonight

Roll up, roll up to the tinsel show

Where the high and mighty become brought down low

You’ve got fifteen minutes and the clock is slow

Roll up, roll up, roll up to the tinsel show

Show time

Maybe up there you will live forever

Maybe up there you’ll have romance

We’ll be finding our sweet place together

When you get your big chance on the tinsel show tonight

Roll up, roll up to the tinsel show

Where the high and mighty become brought down low

You’ve got fifteen minutes and the clock is slow

Roll 'em up, roll 'em up, roll 'em up now to the tinsel show

Show time

Come on down, my friend, let the show begin

Said, «I got a wondrous tale «Said, «It's full of fantasies of lust and shame»

Oh, oh, my, my, my

Barnum and Bailey world from the top right down

The citizen, he smiles like a circus clown

Better polish up your act or you won’t get paid

Come on down my friend

Let’s go to the tinsel show
