Fatz: Good evening ladies and gentlemen and welcome to ShowBiz Pizza’s tribute to the circus. I am your honorable massacre of ceremonies Reginald J. Fattican, but uh you can call me Fatz. On our way to the big top why don’t we stop off on the midway and ride some rides.

Dook: (Singing) Last night I took a walk after dark A swingin’ place called Palisades Park To have some fun and see what I could see That’s where the girls are I took a ride on a shoot-the-chute That girl I sat beside was awful cute And when we stopped I gave that girl a hug My heart was flyin' Up like a rocket ship Down like a roller coaster Back like a loop-the-loop And around like a merry-go-round We ate and ate at the hot dog stand We danced around to a rockin’ band And when we quit I gave that girl a hug In the tunnel of lo-hove You’ll never know how great a kiss can feel Until you stop at the top of a Ferris wheel Well we fell in love Ah- Down at Palisades Park

All: (Singing) Run run runnin' Now the ride the runnin'

Dook: (Singing) Down at Palisades Park

All: (Singing) Run run runnin' Now the ride the runnin'

Dook: (Singing) Down at Palisades-

All: Woo!

[Song: On a Carousel]

Mitzi Mozzarella: (Singing) Riding along on a carousel Trying to catch up to you Riding along on a carousel Will I catch up to you? Horses chasin’, ‘cause they’re racin’

All: (Singing) So near and so far On a carousel On a carousel

Mitzi Mozzarella: (Singing) Nearer, nearer by changing horses Still so far away People fighting for their places Just get in the way Soon you’ll leave and then I’ll lose you

[Song: The Night the Carousel Burned Down]

Beach Bear: (Singing) Weren’t you there when the carousel burnt down? The fire and confusion, the smoke and the sound I swear you there when the carousel burnt down We were all around The rings charred and tarnished all over the ground And our heads hung down And we all left town The next day

Beach Bear & Mitzi: (Singing) The children all cried when the carousel burnt down The old ladies sighed when the carousel burnt down The rest of us lied as the carousel burnt down And the flames did fly The pipes steamed and shrieked out a blazing goodbye As the boiler died And they melted down The midway

Beach Bear: (Singing) And we all left town

Beach Bear & Mitzi: (Singing) The next day And we all left town the next day And we all left town The next day [Instrumental outro]
