Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Tattooed  we dance the tango,
 in a melancholy way,
Bearded  ladies, muscle men,
 freaks entering the affray.
Crowds  come in from the suburbs
 to observe the perverse,
Jimmy  the pick-pocket he's on the loose,
 Mind out and watch your purse.
Frankie  the brain damaged boxer,
 he's only got left a year,
The  local bums take him for a round
 and for his blood they cheer.
Prostitutes  do good business,
 they'll gob you for a days rent,
And  if it's a boy that you're after,
 they're over behind the tent.
Roll  Up, Roll Up, Roll Up, Roll Up
Roll  Up, Roll Up, Roll Up, Roll Up, Roll Up.
Pimps  count their money,
 they think they've got a good job.
It's  better than being a gangster,
 it's better than being a slob.
Pin-heads,  Siamese twins, midgets
 They all shock the best they can.
The  gypsy fortune teller,
 she knows we're all damned.
Our  life's a side-show attraction,
 we do our best to please,
Our  life is a side-show attraction,
 death, decay and disease,
Roll  Up, Roll Up, Roll Up, Roll Up
Roll  Up, Roll Up, Roll Up, Roll Up, Roll Up
Roll  Up, Roll Up, Roll Up, Roll Up
Roll  Up, Roll Up, Roll Up, Roll Up, Roll Up
