Saughterin' strangulars, jugglin' jugulin' juggulas,
Fall-in, fat floppy titty freaks ic fuckin' p's in the haugh!(hoo hoo!)
Abracadabra, boom shaka day, I'm violent j, and I'm back like a
Vertebrae.
And I come with a hat full of tricks,
Trunk full of faygo, car full of fat chicks.
Ha ha-ha ha ha ha-ha-ha, f*ck you.
Wicked clowns, we'd like to say what's up, to the cobras, x-men, and
Counts,
And everybody with clown love, even sucks I never heard of.
Roll into town, and out with the big top,
Four cards down, and two more still to drop.
And when it does, I'd pack up and hit the road,
Cuz I don't wanna see your head explode!
Toss me an ax, and I'll toss you a dead chicken,
Add a buck, ya get a two liter wit' 'em.
And when the genie says on with the show,
It's hokus pokus joker's,
Great milenko.
(once again, it's the psychotic carnival creatures in the haugh)
(chorus:)
Hokus pokus joker's ride,
Come take a spin on a carny-ride
(end chorus)
(southwest slivering snakes of darkness.)(w/milenko echo)
(chorus)
Shazaam, bam! shaka-laka lokey, shaggy the clown back like scoliosis,
Call me a psycho-skitzo-freak, and I'll call you by your name! (dick
Anus)
Cuz I could give two shits and a f*ck,
I bounce down frimmer in a popcorn-clown truck.
I'm a circus ninja southwest voodoo wizard, I grab ya gizzard!
Jump on the carpet, let's take a spin,
Everybody's waitin' for the show to begin.
Up to the top, by the neck, and let ya go, (wow!)
Try to land in a glass of faygo! (uh!)
You suck! ya missed the fuckin' glass,
Broke ya neck, and busted ya fuckin' ass,
But the genie says on with the show,
Hokus pokus jokers, great milenko!
(what awaits you after death? rub the lamp and explore!)
(chorus)
(enter milenko's funhouse! walk right through the wretched
Hall!)(w/milenko echo)
(chorus)
F-f-f*ck off!
F-f-f*ck off!
Clown dawg freak dawg
Joker dawg milenko dawg
(visions of joker cards flashing in your mother's face!)
(female chorus)
Rude boy and chucky, down wit' the clown,
First time we ever went to mexican town.
I remember, we couldn't pay the bill, they got hot,
And beat us down in the fucking parking lot! (f*ck you!)
Toljest, jump steady, and nate the mack,
Tagged icp by the train tracks!
And it was on, the dawn of a new day,
Magical carpets creepin' down the freeway. (hoo hoo)
Walked in a gypsy's tent with a food stamp,
And walked out with a magical lamp, yeah,
I met milenko, he gave me three wishes,
That night, I fucked three fat bitches!
Stank, get the f*ck wit' it, forget it,
I'll rip ya face off, and wipe my ass wit' it!
When the genie says on with the show,
It's hokus pokus jokers, great milenko!
(primal order, magic train, come join us in song!)
(chorus)
(city to village, hamlet to town, the show must go on!)(w/milenko echo)
(chorus)
(giant ladies, bearded ladies, radiant ladies! ladies? )
(female chorus)
(clouds of darkness, and underneath them come the clown!)
(chorus)
F*ck that!
