artist: Tom Waits lyrics
title: Step Right Up
album: Small Change
Step right up, step right up, step right up,
Everyone's a winner, bargains galore
That's right, you too can be the proud owner
Of the quality goes in before the name goes on
One-tenth of a dollar, one-tenth of a dollar, we got service after sales
You need perfume? we got perfume, how 'bout an engagement ring?
Something for the little lady, something for the little lady,
Something for the little lady, hmm
Three for a dollar
We got a year-end clearance, we got a white sale
And a smoke-damaged furniture, you can drive it away today
Act now, act now, and receive as our gift, our gift to you
They come in all colors, one size fits all
No muss, no fuss, no spills, you're tired of kitchen drudgery
Everything must go, going out of business, going out of business
Going out of business sale
Fifty percent off original retail price, skip the middle man
Don't settle for less
How do we do it? how do we do it? volume, volume, turn up the volume
Now you've heard it advertised, don't hesitate
Don't be caught with your drawers down,
Don't be caught with your drawers down
You can step right up, step right up
That's right, it filets, it chops, it dices, slices,
Never stops, lasts a lifetime, mows your lawn
And it mows your lawn and it picks up the kids from school
It gets rid of unwanted facial hair, it gets rid of embarrassing age spots,
It delivers a pizza, and it lengthens, and it strengthens
And it finds that slipper that's been at large
under the chaise lounge for several weeks
And it plays a mean Rhythm Master,
It makes excuses for unwanted lipstick on your collar
And it's only a dollar, step right up, it's only a dollar, step right up

I saw Tom Waits at the Beacon Theater in New York back in the 70's. It was the dead of winter and I couldn't wait to get inside to warm up. Damn it was not much warmer in the theater than it was outside. Tom came on stage and announced that the men were working on the boiler and it should be fixed soon. OK sounds good. The concert went on and some heat was generated by 1000's of people but by the end of the concert the boiler still wasn't fixed. I said "They must be having trouble fixing the boiler" to my friend. He said "Are you kidding? This place doesn't even HAVE a boiler." "That was just a joke!"

"I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy."
Tom Waits is one of my heroes in music (with Zappa).
Love bluesy blues... all sorts of for that matter
