[Intro]
Ooh, oh
La-la, la-la, la
Ooh, oh

[Verse 1]
Step right up, hurry, hurry, before the show begins
My friends
Stand in line, get your tickets, I hope you will attend

[Pre-Chorus 1]
It'll only cost you fifty cents to see
What life has done to those like you and me

[Verse 2]
See the man with the broken heart, you'll see that he is sad
He's hurt so bad
See the girl who has lost the only love she ever had

[Pre-Chorus 2]
There's got to be no sadder show to see
No doubt about it, satisfaction's guaranteed

[Chorus]
So let the sideshow begin
Hurry, hurry
Step right on in
Can't afford to pass it by
Guaranteed to make you cry
Sideshow begin
Hurry, hurry
Step right on in
Can't afford to pass it by
Guaranteed to make you cry
[Verse 3]
See the man who's been cryin' for a million years
So many tears
See the girl who's collected broken hearts for souvenirs

[Pre-Chorus 3]
It's more exciting than a one-man band
It's the saddest little show in all the land

[Chorus]
So let the sideshow begin
Hurry, hurry
Step right on in
Can't afford to pass it by
Guaranteed to make you cry
Sideshow begin
Hurry, hurry
Step right on in
Can't afford to pass it by
Guaranteed to make you cry

[Bridge]
Whoa-ooh
Whoa-ooh
Oh
La-la, la-la, la-la
Whoa-ooh
Whoa-ooh
Oh
La-da-la-da-da, yeah
Whoa-ooh
Whoa-ooh, oh
La-la, la-la, la-la, yeah
La-la, la-la, la-la
[Chorus]
Let the sideshow begin
(Hurry, hurry)
Step right on in
Can't afford to pass it by
Guaranteed to make you cry
Sideshow begin
Hurry, hurry
Oh, step right on in
Hurry, hurry now
Hurry, hurry now
Sideshow begin
Hurry, hurry now
Oh, oh
Hurry, hurry

[Outro]
La-la-la-la-la, oh
La-la-la-la-la, la-la, la-la
Mm-hmm-mm
