lyrics

The Wheel goes round and round
And what comes up must come down
So take a chance
You never know
You may win the biggest prize
In the freak show

The brass ring’s out of reach
And we’re out of things to teach
So come on down
And pay the fare
To get frightened in the dark
Or go flying through the air

So much history
In the boardwalk
So much mystery
In your sweet talk
Assault and battery
Of the subtle kind
But it’s like the lottery
You’re never gonna win
Unless you step in line

See that Kewpie Doll
Watch that sucker fall
You think he's outta luck
But you never know at all
He may win the biggest prize
In that carnie’s stall

Walkin' hand in hand
Past the one man band
The roller rink and the
cotton candy stand
And I can see it in your eyes
I can hear it in your sighs
I think we won the biggest prize
In the freak show

The Wheel goes round and round
And what comes up must come down
So step right up
You never know
You may win the biggest prize
In the freak show
