Who's the bloke who's got the show
Girls all in a row?
Ho ho ho, Karnival Joe from Kokomo
Who's the man with the red right hand
He's ready for a showdown
Ho ho ho, Karnival Joe from Kokomo
He's the kind of cat that'll make you wish you'd owned him
Turn around and make you wish you'd never never known him
Step right up and buy a ticket to the one-man show:
Ho ho ho, Karnival Joe from Kokomo
Who's the chick who's got that shtick,
She's got that dirty lowdown
Oh oh oh, Circus Queen of New Orleans
People come both the young and old
She shakes like jelly in a bowl
Oh oh oh, Circus Queen of New Orleans
She's the kind of chick who makes you wish you owned her
Turn around and make you wish you'd never ever known her
Step right up and buy a ticket to that midnight show:
Oh oh oh, Circus Queen of New Orleans
Now people come from both near and far
To see the humunculus in a jar
Ho ho, Karnival Joe from Kokomo
She does the dance, they call "Shalom,
Maybe you could teach the wife at home!"
Oh oh oh, Circus Queen of New Orleans
He's the kind of cat that makes you wish you owned him
Turn around and make you wish you'd never never known him
Step right up and buy your ticket to this one-man show:
Ho ho ho, Karnival Joe from Kokomo
Oh oh oh, Circus Queen of New Orleans
Ho ho ho, Karnival Joe from Kokomo
