This song was written many years ago, back when "The Jerry Springer show" first aired. Joe's compositional inspiration jumped forth after watching a particularly disturbing episode dealing with abnormally enhanced female mammilla glands which are also known as 'freaks' in other social environments or new and different cultural settings exposed and studied while watching life's other Circus that is The Jerry Springer Show. |

| Lay your money
down for the Freak Show Buddy
No it doesn't cost a lot, and the first looks free Everyone's in town at the Freak Show, come on down and Get it while its hot, if your ready or your not It’s a Freak Show, tell you it’s a scream.
Give me your tired and your poor We long to see their tales Especially if they're red hot and dirty (yea) Give us the worst you've got All the better for all of us , waiting here to be disgusted So just strip your pride And lift the veil Don't spare us from one warped detail.
Lay your money down for the Freak Show Buddy No it doesn't cost a lot, and the first looks free Everyone's in town at the Freak Show, come on down and Get it while its hot, if your ready or your not It’s the Freak Show, tell you it’s a scream.
Don't be shy, don't be coy Just kindly state your case Of why a man leaves his wife….. for a poodle No, don't make it up, cause the truths such a hoot It just gives the boot to any fiction Why you think we'd just get sick and bored Like Jell-O we just beg for more
And I have seen The coming out of closet queens and aliens Oh don't touch that dial We'll tickle your fancy for just a while Our darkest dreams, The skeletons and everything are on the screen We'll just bare the shame, for fifteen minutes of network fame * Mike Keneally Solo There's more to see Than Grandma could have every dreamed And such unseemly human slime It's a shame they can't match it when it's prime time
Where are you now? Old Dog-Faced Boy we've lost our sense of innocence And that bearded dame, Was not as hairy as these folks claims So lay your money down for the Freak Show buddy No it doesn't cost a lot, and the first looks free Everyone's in town at the Freak Show, come on down and Give us a call, Give us a call at 1-800 JERRY
It’s a Freak Show, tell you it’s a... Lay your money down for the Freak Show Buddy No it doesn't cost a lot, and this one's on me Everyone's in town at the Freak Show, come on down and Get it while its hot, if your ready or your not At the Freak Show, tell you it’s a scream. So lay your money down for the Freak Show Buddy Lay your money down for the Freak Show Buddy
Sunken City was conceived one night at Tommy's Yacht Club as Joe and another (unknown at the time) musician for a one time only solo acoustic show right up Sixth Street at Sacred Grounds Coffee Shop and completely blew out of control from there with a-lot of help from the internet. Before everyone had even met each other most the details including set lists and charts had been sorted out and put up in a web private web page. You could truthfully say that the idea was born in a bar but grew up on the internet.
