I was at this carnival, just a few years ago |
| [00:25.61] |
no big deal, ferris wheel, the same ol' stuff you know. |
| [00:30.47] |
And I wandered around the grounds until I found this little tent, |
| [00:35.66] |
man outside made a speech, and this is how it went. |
| [00:42.83] |
"she walks, she talks, |
| [00:44.84] |
she crawls on her belly like a reptile" |
| [00:51.19] |
it was the same ole line ...except for one part, |
| [00:57.18] |
said you don't need no money, you gotta pay with your heart |
| [01:01.53] |
O sharon, what do you do to these men? |
| [01:10.66] |
You know the same rowdy crowd that was here last night is back again. |
| [01:21.97] |
Well I went inside, looked around for a seat. |
| [01:27.04] |
Then the lights went low, and the drums played a beat. |
| [01:36.33] |
Out came this girl, dressed in a scarf and a sneeze, |
| [01:41.83] |
she did a little dance that made me weak in the knees. |
| [01:46.67] |
she danced just like her back had no bones. |
| [01:50.92] |
while the band played a tune they called the Main Street Moan. |
| [01:56.53] |
|
| [03:25.58] |
She smiled a smile the whole world could see. |
| [03:30.45] |
and then She turned around, and looked staraight at me. |
| [03:35.40] |
I must've jumped at least six feet in the air, |
| [03:40.29] |
and when I came down, that girl wasn't there. |
| [03:44.19] |
Oh Sharon, what do you do to these men? |
| [03:53.84] |
You know the same rowdy crowd that was here last night is back again. |
| [04:13.31] |
Then Out come this guy with curly, red hair, |
| [04:18.23] |
He had a big bushy beard , and he looked like a bear. |
| [04:22.97] |
He said "Yuh stop yer shoutin' there's no more to the show |
| [04:27.76] |
if you wanna breathe right, I think y'all better go |
| [04:32.91] |
Well I didn't think twice, I headed straight for the door, |
| [04:37.69] |
but on my way out, I heard that big bear roar |
| [04:41.53] |
O Sharon, what do you do to these men? |
| [04:51.05] |
You know the same rowdy crowd that was here last night is back again. |
| [05:00.88] |
Every time that show played, I was right there, |
| [05:06.94] |
I stayed out off reach of that mean ole' bear. |
| [05:11.93] |
And it was Just like the man said in his speech at the start, |
| [05:16.72] |
when that carnie left town it took a piece of my heart. |
| [05:21.63] |
I still get a funny feeling deep down in my bone, |
| [05:26.47] |
every time I hear a band play that Main Street Moan. |
| [05:30.61] |
O Sharon, what do you do to these men? |
| [05:39.81] |
You know the same rowdy crowd that was here last night is back again. |
| [05:58.23] |
