Sharon |
I was at this carnival, just a few years ago |
No big deal, ferris wheel, the same ol' stuff you know |
And I wandered around the grounds until I found this little tent |
Man outside made a speech, and this is how it went |
«She walks, she talks, she crawls on her belly like a reptile» |
It was the same ol' line, except for one part |
He said «It don’t cost no money, you gotta pay with your heart.» |
Oh, Sharon, what do you do to these men? |
You know the same rowdy crowd that was here last night is back again |
Well I went inside, I looked around for a seat |
The the lights went low, and the drums played a beat |
Then this girl came out dressed in a scarf and a sneeze |
She did a little dance that made me weak in the knees |
She danced just like her back had no bone |
While the band played a tune they called the «Main Street Moan» |
She smiled a smile the whole world could see |
And then She turned around, and looked staraight at me |
I must’ve jumped at least six feet in the air |
And when I come down, that girl wasn’t there |
Oh, Sharon, what do you do to these men? |
You know the same rowdy crowd that was here last night is back again |
Then out come this dude with curly, red hair |
He had a big bushy beard and he was built like a bear |
He said, «You stop yer shoutin,' there’s no more to the show |
If you wanna breathe right, y’all better go.» |
Well I didn’t hang around, I headed straight for the door |
But on my way out, I heard that big bear roar |
Oh, Sharon, what do you do to these men? |
You know the same rowdy crowd that was here last night is back again |
Every time that that show played, I was right there |
I stayed out off reach of that mean, red bear |
And it was just like the man said in his speech at the start |
When that carnie left town it took a piece of my heart |
And I still get a funny feeling deep down in my bone |
Every time I hear a band play that «Main Street Moan» |
Oh, Sharon, what do you do to these men? |
You know the same rowdy crowd that was here last night is back again |
Oh, Sharon, what do you do to these me? |
You know the same rowdy crowd that was here last night is back again |
