Concession Stand Song

Hocus pocus, Pudding and pie.
Pinch the babies,
Make em cry and hollar.
Baby, don’t know where you’ve been.
You looked just like that when you were smaller.
Here comes Venus,
Rolling her eyes.
She’s gonna show you how to criticise your loved ones.
You couldn’t have picked a better time.
Sure it’s working but
Couldn’t you shine it up some?
Tell your babies what you know,
Drop em in the river and watch em go.
Take em down, it’s up to you.
Tell your pretty children
The ugly truth.
Well I was still a waitress
Way back then
But if I’d had my way, I would have been a dancer.
But momma she said, «I said no.»
At least I never took no for an answer.
Isn’t it easy when you’ve got no choice.
Pay no mind to the sound of your voice cryin'.
Troubles they’re a dime a dozen.
Fillin my pockets when I wasn’t even tryin'.
Tell your babies what you know,
Drop em in the river and watch em go.
Take em down, it’s up to you.
Tell your pretty children
The ugly truth.
Step right up and roll the dice
And all this can be your if the price is right.
No one moves, nobody gets hurt.
You’re still lying in the dirt at daylight.
I found you in the driveway with my flashlight.
Tell your babies what you know,
Drop em in the river and watch em go.
Take em down, it’s up to you.
Tell your pretty children
Tell your babies what you know,
Drop em in the river and watch em go.
Take em down, it’s up to you.
Tell your pretty children
The ugly truth.
