"Fat Man & Dancing Girl" lyrics

"Fat Man & Dancing Girl"

I stand in a wide flat land
No shadow or shade of a doubt
Where the megaphone man met the girl with her hand
That's covering most of her mouth

Fall in love with a bright idea
And the way a world is revealed to you
Fat man and dancing girl
And most of the show is concealed from view

Monkey in the middle
Keeps singing that tune
I don't wanna hear it
Get rid of it soon

MC on the stage tonight
Is a man named Billy Purl
He's the international fun boy
And he knows the worth of beautiful girl

Stand on the tightrope
Never dreamed I would fall

Monkey in the middle
Keeps doing that trick
It's making me nervous
Get rid of it quick

I stand in a wide flat land
No shadow or shade of a doubt
Where the megaphone man met the girl with her hand
That's covering most of her mouth

Does she tell the truth? Does she hide the lie?
Does she say it so no one can know?
Fat man and the dancing girl
And it's all part of the show, you know

Stand on the tightrope
Never dreamed I could fall

Monkey in the middle
Keeps singing that tune
I don't wanna hear it
Get rid of it soon
Monkey in the middle
Keeps doing that trick
It's making me nervous
Get rid of it quick
