Lyrics:

Oh, here it goes - they're all in rows
All the madames and mademoiselles
Decked to the nines and hanging signs
From the cupboards and carousels
The old bric-a-brac is out on bail
But you know as I that what's for sale
Is more than what's above the bar

Charity Bizarre
That's all you are
You steal their hearts
But you never take it far
Charity Bizarre

Oh, look at that - the tails and spats
They are lining around the block
A tip of the brim and you know him
He's aware what you have in stock
It's all for a very worthy cause
And last that I heard there were no laws
On doors getting left ajar

Charity Bizarre
That's all you are
You steal their hearts
But you never take it far
Charity Bizarre

The wives and widows play so posh
But this is not the Sunday wash
The price is high but the talk is free
Underneath the canopy
The lines we keep so clean and clear
Are just a little jagged here
Where dollars line the lips of mason jars

What have we here? The auctioneer
Strikes the podium gavel down
Out goes the maid and marmalade
With the newcomer in this town
The school on the hill will lay its stone
But lest that the rest should leave alone
I'm sure that two will share a car

Charity Bizarre
That's all you are
You steal their hearts
But you never take it far
Charity Bizarre

Charity Bizarre
That's all you are
You steal their hearts
But you never take it far
Charity Bizarre
