A child was born in this world
With a tragic mandible flaw
The doctors did what they could
Giving him a mechanical jaw
Rejected by society
Abandoned and alone
He'd nearly given up hope
When he stumbled on... a home
Come and join the freak show
There's a place for you
We will be the family
That you never knew
Come and join the freak show
There's no need to fear
Welcome to the freak show
Everyone is welcome here!
This boy, was lost and deprived
But when he came in here, why he thrived!
He had brand new life to live, he had a lot of love to give
Thankful that we'd welcomed him inside
He grew - became a strapping man!
With a jaw that cut through any metal can!
He had talent for the stage
For thrilling folks of any age
Traveling with us throughout the land!
Come and join the freak show
There's a place for you
We will be the family
That you never knew
Come and join the freak show
There's no need to fear
Welcome to the freak show
Everyone is welcome here!
Human Wonder!
So Bizarre!
Such a strange appearance in touring show like this can take a man so very far!
But jaws of metal
Tend to rust
Leading a young man like this to fall under a grave sickness and TURN TO DUST
Poor lad, too young to be gone
But the tetanus in his blood was just too strong
His metal jaw was firmly locked
And all the other freaks were shocked
With no idea to what was going wrong
So sad. Was nothing they could do
With the medicine of 1892
They stayed right by him to the end
And loyal to their boy and friend
They sang to him this tune
Welcome to the freak show
There's a place for you
We will be the family
That you never knew
Come and join the freak show
There's no need to fear
Welcome to the freak show
Everyone is welcome here!
Come and join the freak show
There's a place for you
We will be the family
That you never knew
Come and join the freak show
There's no need to fear
Welcome to the freak show
Everyone is welcome here!
