letra de come look at the freaks - henry krieger, 2014 broadway cast

[men]
come look at the freaks
the pygmies and geeks
come examine these aberrations
their malformations
grotesque physiques
only pennies for peeks
come look at the freaks

come look at the freaks [women]
they’ll haunt you for weeks ah ah ah…
come explore why they fascinate you
exasperate you
and flush your cheeks

[women]
come hear how love speaks

[all]
come look at the freaks

[the boss]
ladies and gentlemen
step right up
right this way
there is no wait
we don’t waste your time
so little to pay
just one thin dime
gains you admission
to my odditorium
never have you seen
a comparable emporium
of wonders under one tent
your dime could not be better spent

come see our curious gal
the bearded lady
see a man with an extra appendage
instead of two legs, there’s three
come see our tattoed girl
she’s a walking marquee

come see our elegant geek
refined but deadly
chicken necks delight his incisors
their heads decorate the mud
his favorite c-cktail drink?
it’s warm chicken blood!

from the barren desert
of the heathen camel trade
the lizard man of khartoum
an encounter with him will mean certain doom
and from the far east
see this intriguing specimen
is it woman? is it man?
i guess you’ll be satisfied either way
with half and half from [?]

come have your fortune foretold
then see a boy who’s a dog, haha!
the living venus de milo, lacking both arms
and from the siberian tundra, the world’s tiniest cossacks

he’s punctured, he’s pierced
he’s the human pin cushion!

[all]
come see god’s mistakes
the freaks god forsakes
take a look at exotic creatures
the mangled features
the mess god makes

[the boss]
and we don’t harbor fakes

[all]
come see god’s mistakes
[the boss]
from the inky jungles
of the darkest continent
time to witness first hand
the ferocity of the cannibal king
we keep him chained up
because we know he’s hankering
from a taste of one of you!
and you are here for enlightenment
not stock for cannibal stew

[spoken]
oh, what’s this now? not the bl–dy chains again! for god’s sake! save the poor boy, he’ll be eaten! that’s it [?]. mind his t–th, you could lose a finger!

[sung]
ladies and gentlemen
with great pride, misty eyed
i now present the stars of our show
no duo is more simpatico
though their condition is called “abnormality”
they’ve developed charm and gifts of musicality
their bond immutably strong
just listen to their haunting song

[daisy & violet]
ah, ah, ah…

[the boss, spoken]
scientists told me that siamese twins come from the same life germ and that their complete separation was r-t-rded in some way. perhaps while pregnant, their mother witnessed dogs stuck together, copulating. they’re called “siamese” after chang and eng, the first widely known specimens. siamese twins share everything and yet remain completely separate in their minds, bodily functions and presumably their souls. but enough about science!
sing, girls! sing!

[daisy & violet]
ah, ah, ah…
ah, ah, ah…

[the boss] [attractions]
come look at the freaks spread the word
the pygmies and geeks tell the world what you’ve
seen and heard

[all]
come examine these aberrations
their malformations
grotesque physiques

[the boss]
only pennies for peeks

[all]
come look at the freaks!
