1
Well Zenora Bariella
2
And Coriander Pyle
3
They had sixteen children
4
In the usual style
5
They had a curio museum
6
And they had no guile
7
All they ever wanted
8
Was a show biz child
9
So on the 7th of Dec. 1949
10
They got what
11
They'd been wishing for
12
All of the time
13
He grew up in a trailer
14
By the time he was 9
15
He rolled off to join
16
The circus... telling fortunes
17
On the side
18
Hail Hail, the Eyeball kid
19
Well the first time I saw him
20
Was a Saigon jail
21
Cost me 27 dollars
22
Just to go his bail
23
I said your name will
24
Be in lights...
25
And that's no doubt
26
But you got to have
27
A manager that's what
28
It's all about
29
People would point
30
People would stare
31
I'll always be here
32
To protect you and to
33
Cut down on the glare
34
I know you can't speak
35
I know you can't sign
36
So cry right here on
37
The dotted line
38
Hail Hail, the Eyeball kid
39
Well he was born with out a body
40
Not even a brow
41
I made the kid a promise
42
I made the kid a vow
43
He's not conventionally handsome
44
He'll never be tall
45
He said "all you got to do is
46
Book me into Carnegie Hall"
47
Hail Hail, the Eyeball kid
48
He's just a little bitty thing
49
He's just a little guy
50
But women go crazy
51
For the big blue eye
52
They say how does he
53
Dream? How does he think
54
When he can't ever speak
55
And he can't ever blink?
56
I said Hail Hail, the Eyeball kid
57
Hail Hail, the Eyeball kid
58
Give it up and throw me down
59
A couple of quic
60
Everybody wants to see
61
The Eyeball kid
62
How dies he dream
63
How does he think
64
When he can't even speak
65
And he can't even blink
66
We are all lost in the
67
Wilderness we're as
68
Blind as can be
69
He came down to teach us
70
How to really see
71
Hallelujah
72
Hallelujah
73
Hallelujah
74
So give it up and throw
75
Me down a couple of quid
76
Everybody wants to see
77
The Eyeball kid
78
Eyeball kid
79
Eyeball kid
