Step right on up, take a good good look   at the latest pie that fate could cook   this is no phenom, so supermarket guru   just a revelation from me to you      So don't believe a thing that you might hear   at least from the last 30 - 40 years   cause it wasn't long ago just before the reign of Nero   we had no concept of zero      So beware, children beware, the devil may care   six little soldiers with stripes on their shoulders   never with a thought to dare      So take aim, children take aim   the drill sargeant sang   with ample perspiration ordered   stop your respiration   and end the flow of oxygen to the brain      So wake up sleepyheads, listen what I have to say   as you near your independence day   just keep in mind, in time your find so few   so few have your best interrests in mind      so don't believe a thing you might hear   at least from the last 3 - 4,000 years   'cause is wasn't long ago just before the reign of Nero   we had no concept of zero      so beware, children beware   the devil may care...   and maybe he's the only one
