lyrics

The Bearded Lady

I’m just a man with impulse and desire
A real handsome woman still lights my fire
And when I saw her at that strange travelling show
That’s when this yearning started to grow.

She said do you have feelings for me?
I said yes…..well maybe,
I got a thing, got a thing for the bearded lady

Painted in tattoos of beauty and verse
Shakespeare on her left breast, on her hip a lover’s curse.
When she entered the big top, astride a horse of pure white
Naked and magnificent, she haunted my nights

And when she kissed me. Her whiskers soft on my face.
Her mouth warm with sweetness. We held a hungry embrace.
