    Story Behind the Song
    Fascination with carnies, circuses and side-shows: the seedier side of life.

    Lyrics
    Out on the streets
    Since he was 10
    Got drunk
    stole his daddy's gin

    Poppa's been in
    an Agent Orange rage
    Someone let him outta that
    bamboo cage

    Gonna hitch a ride
    Outta town join the fair
    Put a ring through my nose
    Shave my hair

    Sadie the bearded lady
    and JoJo the dog-faced boy
    are my best friends

    Only 16
    but she looked 21
    Her brothers' friends taught her
    what was dirty and fun

    Couldn't get a job
    over at the zoo
    So the carnie's sword-swallower said
    let me train you

    Gonna hitch a ride out of town
    Join the fair
    Put a ring through my nose
    shave my hair

    Sadie the bearded lady
    and JoJo the dog-faced boy are my best friends

    Got old and his friends passed away
    His line of work dated he had no place to stay
    Now he stands on the corner grinning
    like a Moonie
    All of the cops think he's a certified loony.
