Verse 1

Tattoo'd Lady, bearded baby they're my family
when I was lonely something told me where I could always be
where I could push the penny If you've got any
you'll meet me down at the shooting gallery
yes, I'm a fairground baby 
wonder what made me fall for the pearly queen

Chorus

Spent my youth under canvas roof as I roamed from town to town 
I'm not foolin' when I say I got no schoolin'
never liked the school bell sound
from inside the caravan, I hear the fairground band
sounding good as they can be
you know I can't be found but if you look around
tomorrow we'll be gone by dawn, Oh yeah

Verse 2

Now hear it on the loud speaker say
the fire eater is a real fine sight to see
you know he's a death cheater, some kind of central heater
be sure to save a seat for me
let me tell you 'bout wicked Sadie, she's no baby,
the law came and tried to close her side show down
but soon she had the D.A. cheering 
the police chief wearing her garter for a crown

Chorus

I spent my youth under canvas roof as I roamed from town to town 
I'm not fooling when I say I got no schoolin'
never liked the school bell sound
from inside the caravan, I hear the fairground band
sounding good as they can be
you know I can't be found But if you look around
tomorrow we'll be gone by dawn
Tattoo'd Lady, bearded baby they're my family
when I was lonely something told me where I could always be
where I could push the penny If you've got any
you'll meet me down at the shooting gallery
