Album: Side Show Soundtrack

Crazy, Deaf and Blind

The Boss:
Stop!
Can I ask you a question?

Terry:
Of course.

The Boss:
Are you deaf?

Terry:
No.

The Boss:
If you think these girls are singers
Then you must be hard of hearing
They do a little yowling
Dogs baying at the moon
But the sound they make is screeching
And you're really overreaching
If you think these lousy honkers could ever learn a tune
One more question
Are you blind?
Is that why you didn't notice
That these two are joined together?
With a little flesh between them
Making it impossible to go in two directions
Or into different sections of the room
I don't know what weird perversion
Makes you find these dregs a sight
But I protect them from vermin like you
So let me save your breath and my valuable time
They are freaks
They are monsters
They will never leave the sideshow
And there are other play things
That I'm sure that you can find
So why don't you start looking through the slime and muck
Get in it
I can't spend another minute
With someone crazy, deaf and blind


Terry:
I appologize.
I'm sorry to intrude.

Daisy:
No, please don't go!

The Boss:
You shut your mouth!

Terry:
I didn't mean to cause you any trouble.

The Boss:
Well, you have.
Jake will show you off the grounds.

Terry:
So lovely to meet you, ladies.

Daisy:
Lovely

Violet:
Goodbye

The Boss:
Jake, you make sure he gets gone.
You girls, out of my sight.

The Boss leaves, but Buddy and Terry stay...

Terry:
I'm right, aren't I, Jake?
They can sing.

Jake:
Yes, they can

Terry:
Help me prove that

Violet:
Help us, Jake

Daisy:
Give us a chance to learn

Jake:
You girls will be the death of me
You heard the Boss

Violet:
Oh, what does he know

Daisy:
He's a mean, old drunk

Terry:
We can change his tune

Daisy:
Please, Jake

Violet:
We'll be very careful

Daisy:
He doesn't need to know

Violet:
For me, Jake?

Jake:
I can't say no to you

Terry:
Good man.
So Buddy will teach you girls a song.

Daisy:
Oh, I'm a quick learner!

Terry:
Great!
My kind of girl

Violet:
I'm afraid you'll have your work cut out with me

Buddy:
All you need is a little help

Violet:
What if I can't do that?

Buddy:
I know you can

Terry:
There's no pressure.
Just sing a song for us,
and maybe some of your friends.
Buddy will meet you here tomorrow night.

Violet:
What about the Boss?

Jake:
I'll take care of him

Daisy:
We're very grateful, Jake
Will you be here tomorrow night, Mr. Connor

Terry:
Call me Terry
And I'll be back in a couple of weeks
But I'll be thinking of you while I'm gone
Now will you girls work very hard
And do as we tell you?

Violet:
Oh yes, we will

Daisy:
Anything you say

Terry:
Say goodbye to the freak show
Let me show you a place I know

Buddy:
Where only daisys and violets grow

Buddy & Terry:
Say goodbye to the freak show
Goodbye

Buddy and Terry leave...

Daisy:
What brought him here
That handsome guy?

Violet:
I wonder what
I wonder why

Daisy:
Do you think he could make our dreams come true?

Violet:
He sure would have a lot of work to do

Fortune Teller:
He's the one to do it
I can see it all
See it in my crystal ball

Daisy:
Oh, you heard what he said?

Fortune Teller:
Every word.

Roustabout #4:
We all did.

Bearded Lady:
Daisy and Violet, please don't go with them

6th Exhibit:
No, give them a try

Daisy:
We already agreed to

Violet:
Agreed to learn a song
Not to leave you

Bearded Lady:
Not yet
We heard what they said
Say goodbye to the freak show

Violet:
I would never do that

Daisy:
I would
But not because I want to leave you
But to play vaudeville
To make something of our lives

Sheik:
This life isn't good enough for you

Roustabout #4:
You call this a life?

Geek:
I call this the only home the girls have ever known

Fakir:
Predators will target them out there on their own

Harem Girl #3:
Well, I think they should go

Jake:
That's enough
This is not about any of us
This is their decision
