The Old Calliope |
| My grandpa was a minstrel man |
| A minstrel man was he |
| And to tell the truth I guess I’ve got some minstrel blood in me |
| You can have all the harps in heaven |
| Blow all the horns here on the ground |
| But I find I still get my greatest thrill |
| Every time I hear this sound |
| I love to hear that old calliope |
| I love the melody of an old calliope |
| And when you hear the thrilling harmony |
| Gather round the minstrel’s show’s in town |
| It sounds so good |
| That old calliope |
| What is more heavenly |
| Than an old calliope |
| Here comes the band |
| Oh what a sight to see |
| Gather round the minstrel’s show’s in town |
| Banjos strumming |
| Folks are humming |
| Minstrel’s coming |
| What a show what a show |
| It’s the finest show I know |
| It’s coming near Coming near coming near |
| That old calliope |
| What a sight to see |
| Oh what a melody |
| What a melody |
| Oh the old calliope |
| Old calliope |
| So loud and clear |
| That thrilling harmony |
| Gather round the minstrel’s show’s in town |
| There’s the interlocutor |
| And Mr. Bones so full of life |
| Who’s that lady you were with last night |
| That was no lady that was my wife |
| Ha ha |
| Ha Ha |
| Ho ho |
| Ho ho |
| What a show what a show what a show |
| Says the interlocutor |
| To Mr. Bones so full of pride |
| Why does a chicken cross the road |
| Why to get to the other side |
| I love to hear that old calliope |
| I love the melody of an old calliope |
| And when you hear that thrilling harmony |
| Gather round the minstrel’s show’s in town |
