Lyrics

One, two, three, four

Tattoo'd lady
Bearded baby
They're my family
When I was lonely
Something told me where
I could always be
Where I could
Wish for pennies
If we had any you'd meet me down
At the shooting gallery
Yes, I'm a fairground baby
Wonder what made me
Fall for the pearly queen

I spent my youth under canvas roof
As I roamed from town to town
I'm not fooling when I say I got no schoolin'
Never knew the school bell sound
From the caravan
I hear the fairground band
Sounding good as they can be
You know I can't be found
But if you look around
Tomorrow we'll be gone by dawn
Gone by dawn, yeah
Now hear it on the loud speaker say
The fire eater is a real fine sight to see
Yeah, he's a death cheater
Some kind of central heater, be sure to
Save a seat for me
Let me tell you 'bout wicked Sadie
She's no lady
The law came and tried to close her sideshow down
But soon she had the D.A. cheering
The police chief wearing
Her garter for a crown

Tattoo'd lady
Bearded baby
They're my family
When I was lonely
Something told me where
I could always be
