Such a pretty girl on a pretty pretty day Til' the carnival man carried her away With his twitchy twitchy face and his bottle of jack He took her by the arm "baby don't look back" Woah woah woah woah baby please don't go Woah woah woah woah baby please don't go Well she's wearing toe shoes and she's dancing on walls She's biting her lip until the curtain calls She'll make her escape she'll set herself free 'Cause they just couldn't take her love from me Woah woah woah woah baby please don't go Woah woah woah woah baby please don't go Josephine silent but deadly I can't help feeling i have lost my friend Well it's been 8 days it's been 8 weeks I can't get between her and the circus freaks Getting through to her yeah, getting through to her Is just like climbing up a mountain peak Woah woah woah woah baby please don't go Woah woah woah woah baby please don't go In a really big lake a really big hole She threw her love for me and away it go And if it come back and if i'm not here Ask the man selling pretzels to wipe my tear Woah woah woah woah baby please don't go Woah woah woah woah baby please don't go
