There's people in here with faces like fish
People what never leave
Some of them are funny, they'll spend all your money
My friend there'll be no reprieve
A night so cold and black, never coming back
Fell in the river, fell in the river

Well in a ball of flame one eyed jack fell down
Beside the space invaders
Amongst that night in Chinatown
Machete wielding raiders
A night so cold and black, I'm never coming back
Fell in the river, fell in the river

Ladies and gentlemen, oh I'm so glad that you could come too

The greatest show on earth, yes it's a vicious cabaret
You've all got your part to play
The greatest show on earth, yes it's a lovely sunny day
You've all got your part to play

The lights go down on this lucky town
Yes, it's living for the city
The stars come out in the their twinkling lights
Hey this place almost looks pretty
A night so cold and black, never coming back
Fell in the river

Ladies and gentlemen
Oh, I'm so glad that you could come to

The greatest show on earth, it's a vicious cabaret
You've all got your part to play
The greatest show on earth, it's a lovely sunny day
You've all got your part to play
