"The Midway" lyrics
Ladies and gentlemen, bring your dollar bills
Ones, fives, tens and twenties, and more
Bring 'em this way to the Dark Carnival's midway games
Win a giant stuffed animal
The prize is yours and they money is ours
At the fun and challenging midway games
Hey there, fellow, win a prize for your girlfriend's heart
(How?) Pop a balloon with a dart
It's impossible to miss (I popped all three)
We got a big winner! Give him an 'N SYNC sticker
(Huh? What about them big stuffed animal toys?)
You gotta pop a thousand for one of them boys
Then he spent 'til he won and he saw it was made in Guatamalamala
It won't last him 'til tomorrow
Step over here, son, win a fat prize
Look how easy it is, wipe your eyes
All you gotta do is toss a ring on a bottle top
So you try it again, and you won't stop
It look so fucking easy at first
That's why your mom keeps digging in her purse
She spent her last seventy five bucks, but you not hit
Because you tried so hard, you get a goldfish
Big winners (Woo!) On the midway track
Shitty prizes (Boo!) Yes, but you'll be back
Big winners (Woo!) On the midway track
Shitty prizes (Boo!) Yes, but you'll be back
Hit up one of our many on site ATMs
And come play a few of our stale and cheap
Low budget, high profitable midway games
Excuse me sir, do you like to shoot hoop?
It's a simple concept, throw the ball through the loop
And look at these prizes, it's worth a try
And plus, you look like an athletic guy
(Fair enough, give me three shots) Good luck!
One brick, two brick, three brick (He sucks)
Meanwhile, the ball's getting bigger then the hoop
And we're getting paid 'cause people are stupid
Shoot three rubber duckies off the track
And you can win anything in the back
(Whoa! Check it out, dude, they got a Drake poster!)
(I know, and I want it! Let's go for it)
Little did they know, only two ducks fall back
The rest of 'em are welded to the tracks
Good shooting! You definitely came close, sir
One more and you would've had that sweet poster
Big winners (Woo!) On the midway track
Shitty prizes (Boo!) Yes, but you'll be back
Big winners (Woo!) On the midway track
Shitty prizes (Boo!) Yes, but you'll be back
While you are enjoying our midway games
Don't worry about our pill popping junkie-ass meth-head carnies
Cheating you out of your hard-earned money
This game is the easiest, give it a try
You know you want to, don't just walk by
All you gotta do is knock three cups over
With a bean bag, easy as a three leaf clover
So you try it again and again, you keep playing
'Cause you'd have no idea what the cups are weighing
Ain't no fucking way a bean bag is gonna tip these down
Welcome to the carnival, clown
Hey Dad, win a prize for your son
This game has prizes for everyone
Come try the high bell, swing the big mallet
Come try the dunk tank, see if you can nail it
You can't leave with nothing, try it again
Where'd you win that prize? Run back and tell a friend
Balls, darts, bee bees, and water games
We got many, many ways to ensure that you're all all lames
Ha ha! Ha ha ha!
Big winners (Woo!) On the midway track
Shitty prizes (Boo!) Yes, but you'll be back
Big winners (Woo!) On the midway track
Shitty prizes (Boo!) Yes, but you'll be back
Ones, fives, tens and twenties, and more
Bring 'em this way to the Dark Carnival's midway games
