Story Behind The Song
I wrote this song mainly because I liked going to the midway when it came to town. And also I couldn't wait to blow $25.00 throwing darts to win the $5.00 AC/DC mirror.

Lyrics
Under The Tent
(Lyrics and Music: J Jamieson)
Step right up enjoy the show freaks of nature quite rare ya? know the tent is up and the mood is right and it?s all here and tonight?s the night
The ferris wheel makes sounds that scare tattooed engineer says there?s nothing to fear its held together with grease and rust pass him the tickets he?s the man we trust
Go to the window and place your order cloud on a stick for a buck and a quarter liquid sugar in a paper cup throw in the straw for an extra buck
Under the tent men walk the wire pretty women dance and tigers jump through fire bears ride bikes and the lions roar claps of thunder like a heavy downpour
Test your strength with the mighty hammer to ring the bell is all that matters goldfish swim in a tiny as plastic spheres go flying past
Go to the window and place your order a candy apple for a buck and a quarter your favorite band is on a mirror you see yourself just a little bit clearer
Under the tent men walk the wire pretty women dance and tigers jump through fire bears ride bikes and the lions roar claps of thunder like a heavy downpour
Children cry cause it?s time to go ring master says hope you enjoyed the show in the morning see them tearing down and maybe see Dave having breakfast with a clown
