[E]They're selling postcards of the hanging

Well they're [A]painting the passports [E]brown

The [B]beauty parlor's filled with sailors

The [A]circus is in [E]town

 

[E]Here comes the blind commissioner

They've [A]got him in a tr[E]ance

One [B]hand is tied to the tight-rope walker

The [A]other's in his [E]pants

 

And the [A]riot squad they're restless

They [E]need somewhere to [A]go

As Lady and I look [B]out tonight

From [A]Desolation [E]Row

 

[E]Cinderella, she seem so easy

"It [A]takes one to know one," she [E]smiles

And [B]puts her hands in her back pockets

[A]Bette Davis [E]style

 

[E]And now here comes Romeo, he's moaning

"You Belo[A]ng to Me I Belie[E]ve"

And [B]someone says, "You're in the wrong place, my friend

[A]You better leave"[E]

 

And then the [A]only sound that's left

After the [E]ambulances [A]go

Is Cinderella sw[B]eepin' up

On [A]Desolation [E]Row

[E]Now at midnight all the agents

And [A]superhuman [E]crew

Go [B]out and round up everyone

That [A]knows more than they [E]do

 

[E]They bring them to the factory

Where the [A]heart-attack machi[E]ne

Is [B]strapped across their shoulders

And [A]then the kerose[E]ne

 

Is [A]brought down from the castles

By ins[E]urance men who [A]go

Check to see that nobo[B]dy is escaping

[A]To Desolation [E]Row

 

Right [A]now I can't read too good

Don't [E]send me no letters [A]no

Not unless you [B]mail them

From [A]Desolation [E]Row[A]　[E]
