Roll up, roll up   The greatest show on earth   Animals, clowns, freaks, misfits, contortionists   Fun for all the family   Currently residing in the 'where are they now' file   All tied up in elastic   Stubborn like weeds they've been here all the while   I saw the egos grow   In good working order adjustable spanner   Industry junkies   Regurgitated cabaret under the hammer   They were running the show   (Chorus)   Let's hear it for this year's thing   Come on   Last year's thing   Come on   Next year's thing   Come on   (Repeat)   Step right this way   Thrills chills and spills   Marvel at the daring feats   Pure entertainment   Karaoke sex we can spend the night together   I made a date with Elvis   While someone does a runner with the group's bread and butter   I heard the colonel sing   From a packet of twenty when will they learn?   SickalongaDanbert   That for one good smoke there's nineteen that burn   I never saw the strings attached to   (Repeat chorus)   Jump a little higher   Live by fire die by fire   I am the dog in the manger   Or a dodgy brown packet with suspicious-looking wires   Here's my starter for ten   Behind that pane of glass your special backstage pass   Hear the never-has-beens   Meet the manager with his kecks down and kiss his arse   And watch it happen again   This time it's   (Repeat chorus)   One, two, three, four   This year's thing, this year's thing, this year's thing   Politics is this year's thing   (Repeat)
