Circus music and pop songs
Come see Tawny Tale in action everybody sing along
catch me on my g-string as I belly up to my six-string
I’ve been exercising and I’m feeling strong
Like a clearing from this convalescence
I’m like a chameleon taking acting lessons
I got pink cheeks, red face, purple tuxedo tail
me to the tavern as I belly up to my cadaver
What’s that?
Sure you can see Tawny Tale in action but none of you clowns can have her
You’ve got to let the next guy with his rubber boots and rubber cane
Go skipping across the tightrope and find himself
Dangling from the loop on an overcoat and dropping on the back of a three-eyed goat
The crowd all stamp their feet
“ giddy up”
We lift our palms in the air
As he rides by on a donkey
He’s grown so much hair on his back and shoulders
he doesn’t even need a coat in winter in Milwaukee
He’s got spurs on his galoshes and an old worn pair of Oshkosh B’Goshes
When he kicks up his heels it looks like he’s suspended in the air
Like a marionette, he’s got a girl from Marionette
She waits up until he gets home
To tell him how she’s labeled the basement with rubber boxes
So he’ll always know where the chalk is
He says I love to see your fanny in action as he bellies up behind her
You’ve got to let the next guy with his rubber boots and rubber cane
Go skipping across the tightrope and find himself
Dangling from the loop on an overcoat and dropping on the back of a three-eyed goat
The crowd all stamp their feet
“ giddy up”
It’s a cowboy song for a cowgirl
It ain’t like that in Hollywood
They’ll just take all your things and then tell you you should
move along
move along
I’m moving on
