Well, [D] the tattooed lady and the alligator man
Live in a trailer in the promised land
In [G] the summertime, they hit the [D] road
They're the main attraction in a travel show
[A] Playing every carnival across the land
[D] The tattooed lady and the [E] [F] alligator [Gb] man
[G] She dances, a hoochie coochie coo [D] coo
[Dm]
[A] And crawls on his belly like a crocodile [D] do
[A]
[G] And for a grand finale, they climb two [D] by two coo
To [C] a spot way up in [D] the sky

[D] She put that critter in a private place
[A] She said, don't you know that's just a start
[D] She turned herself into a work of art
Midway side show, hot as blazes
One stand out in a thousand faces

[Gb] He was rough around the edges, a familiar smile
She [A] said, I know him and he knows me
[D] I feel the pull of my [E]
[F] destiny
