The Freak - Zoot

Step inside the tent ladies and gentlemen

To see the freak they call Jacko the dog face man

He walks like a man

He talks like a man

Yet he was born with the face of a dog

An actual freak of nature

Bright Lights

Blind me

And I’m whizzing by the people

Pushing, rushing

To the organ grinder’s music

And my eyes are running

And my legs are aching

And there’s people winning

And the carnival’s spinning

Merry — go round

Go round And they make me dizzy

People — shouting

As they shoot and win an ashtray

And my head is ringing

And my ears are flitting

And my hair is thinning

And the carnival’s spinning

After the people have gone

I walk along down sideshow ally

And from a tent I hear some crying

The sound of someone in pain

And written brightly on the canvas and woodwork

So that everybody would see

Was the question they pose to the public

«When is a man not a man

When he’s a freak in a sideshow»

But we all got to cry

Yes, we all got to cry

And we all got to cry

Bright lights

Blind me

And I’m questioned by the people

Pushing — rushing

To the organ grinder’s music

And my eyes are running

And my legs are achy

And there’s people crying

And the carnival’s dying
