1, 2, 3, 4Well a sad little boy sat on a soapbox in Market Square
He'd given words for free to all the people there
And though this song is the same, doesn't matter who plays, it's alright
The paper said we'll win this war overnightWe were singing
Step right up
For a colorful revolutionNow a bridge is the word for the war getting underway
But you can't if you won't, and you could, but you don't want to stay
And the American mind in its prime has got nothing to say
But it's your American right to throw your vote awayAnd we be singin'
Step right up
For a colorful revolution
Step right up
It's the sound of the institutionOh, no no words you know, you know nothing today
But when it comes to get you, then what will you say?
I wish the night was young
Yeah, honky tonkYou got it boyAnd now the national defense is up in arms and out of control
But since the market is good, the people said let it roll
And though this song is the same, doesn't matter who plays, it's alright
We can win this little war overnightWe be singing
Step right up
Start a colorful revolution
Everybody's got to
Step right up
It's the sound of the institutionStep right up
For a colorful revolution
