Greatest Show on Earth

Greatest Show on Earth - The Felice Brothers

I'm in the lobby of the motel late

Waitin on my lovely date

Her name is Doris day

I'm in a suit of burgundy

There's a deerhead lookin at me

It's blowin my mind away

Everyone knows she's the killin kind

She keeps a 38 Smith and Wesson at her side

I put a pistol in my pants

Cause were going out to dance

Where the water drinks like cherry wine

Tell me mama so it seems

Your son's been a bad marine

They're shippin him home tonight

Tell me mama was your other son

In jail with the other one

You must've raised em wrong

I heard your low life husband shout

It got me to wondering

What the scene was all about

He said I'm breakin my parole

Goin down to Jericho

Get me that money or I'm gonna beat it out

Ooo happy days are here

It's the perfect summer night

And the moonlight's shining clear

Put a pistol in your purse

Cause we're goin to Ghettysburgh

To the stand of the greatest show on earth

Is that your daughter Mr. Kissinger

Better keep an eye on her

She been lookin me up and down

Is that your woman in the coat of fur

Better keep an eye on her

This is a ravenous part of town

I know about you and the deputy

And how they found him shot dead in a Mercury

Some say you're paid to kill

Like that mean ole Buffalo bill

Watch it buddy don't draw no gun on me

Ooo happy days are here

It's the perfect summer night

And the moonlight's shining clear

Put a pistol in your purse

Cause we're goin to Ghettysburgh

To the stand of the greatest show on Earth
