Come One Come All - Abney Park

He had a machine all rusty and lean

That walked on four legs by the tracks

Carried its home wherever he roamed

Kitchen, bathroom, small room on its back

He reached a town it would zip the house down

A man would hang up a large banner

stand, and with metaphor in hand

Through it started to stammer

Come one come all to enter my hall

Two pennies and a sugar, my freak

It doesn’t be there, but it’s covered in hair

The strangest thing you’ve seen all week

A small crowd shuffled in

Filled house with their kin

Looked timidly at the large box

the lid

Huge body was hid

And chained to the floor with huge locks

The man opened the coffin

The screams they do often

As the smell of the body fell a foul

Eight good legs were there

All covered in hair

Ate palms in the head of an owl

Come one come all to enter my hall

Two pennies and a sugar, my freak

It doesn’t be there, but it’s covered in hair

The strangest thing you’ve seen all week

This was the beast that I loved the least

Made it through nightmare in the canyon

So I took seven cracks with this goat on my back

And took out my loathsome companion

Though I beg he’s a liar these events did transpire

Exactly as he had said prior

For the truth is that beast was soon together deceased

From this whole town’s a Capella choir

Come one come all to enter my hall

Two pennies and a sugar, my freak

It doesn’t be there, but it’s covered in hair

The strangest thing you’ve seen all week
