Oh come on and fight my battles Oh come on and plead my case Oh come on do something to show me I'm not alone in this place Fortune has not smiled upon me Has not even bothered to learn my name Should never have joined this fledgling circus When it failed, they singled me for blame One night I picked a fight with a strong man I beat him within an inch of his life He borrowed a rope from a tightrope walker Went home and hung himself that night Next it was the lion tamer Lost his head in the lions jaws They say that beast was extra hungry 'cause I last fed him three days before An entire famous trapeze family, last week all plunged to their deaths It was all so sad and unnecessary 'cause I forgot to mend the net I got a date with the women with two heads She's the only one left who'll talk to me At dinner she makes good conversation One head talks while the other one eats Oh come on and fight my battles Oh come on and plead my case Oh come on do something to show me that I'm not alone in this place
