Jennifer Nettles - There’s A Sucker Born Ev’ry Minute lyrics

[BARNUM] There is a su*ker born every minute Each time the second hand sweeps to the top Like dandelions up they pop Their ears so big, their eyes so wide And though I feed 'em bonafide baloney With no truth in it Why you can bet I'll find some rube to buy my corn 'Cause there's a sure-as-shooting su*ker born a minute And I'm referrin' to the minute you was born Each blessed hour brings sixty of 'em Each time the wooden cuckoo shows his face Another su*ker takes his place To plunk his quarter on the line And buy my brand of genuine malarkey God bless and love 'em! But don't feel sad or hoppin' mad or cause a scene 'Cause there's a sure-as-shooting su*ker born a minute But Ma'am you mighta been the minute in between If I allow that right here in my hand The smallest living human man The sight of that is surely worth a dime If I present an educated pooch Who's trained to dance the hoochie cooch What better way to waste a bit of time If I imported monumental cost A lady, fair, who's head was lost While crossing railroad tracks to pick some zinnias Who eats farina through a hose And wears pink tights instead of clothes If that ain't worth a buck my name ain't Jennie-as Aw you say that's hogwash, well who cares You'll buy my hogwash long as there's A su*ker born every minute Each time that second hand sweeps to the top Like dandelions up they pop Their ears so big, their eyes so wide And though my tale is bonafide baloney Just let me spin it And ain't no man who can resist me, wait and see 'Cause there's a sure-as-shooting su*ker born a minute And friends the biggest one, excluding none, is me!
