I'm the star of captain midnight's travelin' show
Came to this circus many moons ago
My mother's in your storybooks, she loved a jungle king
Left me standin' here alone inside the center ring
In a bamboo cage I crossed the ragin' sea
I'm the wild man from Borneo
The wild man from Borneo
You come to see what you wanna see
Ah, you come to see but you never come to know
The tattooed lady left the circus train
