- David Bromberg
- I was at this carnival, just a few years ago
- no big deal, ferris wheel, the same ol' stuff you know.
- And I wandered around the grounds until I found this little tent,
- man outside made a speech, and this is how it went.
- "she walks, she talks,
- she crawls on her belly like a reptile"
- it was the same ole line ...except for one part,
- said you don't need no money, you gotta pay with your heart
- O sharon, what do you do to these men?
- You know the same rowdy crowd that was here last night is back again.
- Well I went inside, looked around for a seat.
- Then the lights went low, and the drums played a beat.
- Out came this girl, dressed in a scarf and a sneeze,
- she did a little dance that made me weak in the knees.
- she danced just like her back had no bones.
- while the band played a tune they called the Main Street Moan.
- She smiled a smile the whole world could see.
- and then She turned around, and looked staraight at me.
- I must've jumped at least six feet in the air,
- and when I came down, that girl wasn't there.
- Oh Sharon, what do you do to these men?
- You know the same rowdy crowd that was here last night is back again.
- Then Out come this guy with curly, red hair,
- He had a big bushy beard , and he looked like a bear.
- He said "Yuh stop yer shoutin' there's no more to the show
- if you wanna breathe right, I think y'all better go
- Well I didn't think twice, I headed straight for the door,
- but on my way out, I heard that big bear roar
- O Sharon, what do you do to these men?
- You know the same rowdy crowd that was here last night is back again.
- Every time that show played, I was right there,
- I stayed out off reach of that mean ole' bear.
- And it was Just like the man said in his speech at the start,
- when that carnie left town it took a piece of my heart.
- I still get a funny feeling deep down in my bone,
- every time I hear a band play that Main Street Moan.
- O Sharon, what do you do to these men?
- You know the same rowdy crowd that was here last night is back again.
