Sally was a one legged dancer
she danced up on the stage
in the vaudeville shows of '23
you know Sally was all the rage
Sally was a one legged dancer
she danced and she hopped around
late one night when Sally was drunk
she up and fell right down

Bruno was midget - Bruno was a creep
he never minded bendin' down
and under ladies skirts he'd peek
now Bruno that darn midget
he'd cuss and he'd drink and spit
he'd stomp you toes and bite your knees
he'd grab yo mamma's tits

Nunu danced behind a bubble
Nunu showed her skin
when Nunu's act hit the stage
all the fella's would all crowd in
Nunu she wore pasties
and she'd spin them round and round
though she could have any man she liked
she made love to the clown

Now the clown he is our hero
he's the only one we got
he makes us smile and he makes us laugh
he gives us happy thoughts
now the clown he's still a clown
and a clown he'll always be
he might be happy or he might be sad
he might be you or me
