Lyrics Vic Chesnutt

Vic Chesnutt

Mighty Monkey

Smell the mighty monkey

Trainer is a junky

And the tightrope walker

Has one foot in the grave

Invited to inspect

What is a train-wreck

You don't even have to check

It's evident, so evident

Dancing bear is full of worms

See the puny pachyderms

Lion tamer wrestles

With ghosts from his past

Invited to inspect

What is a train-wreck

You don't even have to check

It's evident, so evident

Clowns have Herpes and Hepatitis C

The chick who runs the pony ride

We call her Catherine the gross

Invited to inspect

What is a train-wreck

You don't even have to check

It's evident, so evident

Alcoholic acrobats

Emcee smokes crack

Last week the human cannonball

Blew his brains out
