The river dried up, no crops
The river dried up, no crops, call the cops
Verse 1
Your mother told you to pick the very best one and I ain’t it
Lover came home with a shotgun, shined that fucker up with spit
Chorus 2
The river dried up, no crops
The river dried up, no crops, make it stop
Verse 2
Ring around the rosie, baby it’s a doozy
There’s an ocean in between us or just a jacuzzi, excuse me
Chorus 3
The river dried up, no crops
The river dried up, no crops, call the cops
Verse 3
Too many bullets, not enough ghosts
Too many nooses, not enough folks
Chorus 4
The river dried up, no crops
The river dried up, no crops
The river dried up, no crops
The river dried up, no crops, no crops, no crops
PART 2 (2 of 2)
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, step inside and marvel at the surprises that await you! We’ve got bumbling buffoons, juggling baboons, and just two doubloons gets you inside! Martyrs on order are three for a quarter, and every man gets a few brides! So bring the whole family, there’s prizes galore and fried hippopotamus bones, boiled goose beak and rotten horse cheek, and bat’s blood and blueberry scones!
There’s hopscotch and hacksaws and long legged dames, there’s whiskey and venom on ice, hot blooded harlots are six for a nickel and boy that’s a hell of a price! So trade in your skin and dance with the wind, shuffle your cards and muffle your sins, oh bless your heart, we’re about to begin…
