I met you at the sideshow at the fair
The sign said, "Turtle Woman - please beware"
But I went inn and I just had to stare
Turtle Woman, I love you - I don't care

The people were throwing pennies at your shell
But they couldn't hurt your feelings, I could tell
I asked you out to dine and you said, "Swell"
Turtle Woman, I saw you and I fell

We ate and started dancin' cheek to cheek
Next to your friends, the Bearded Lady and the Geek
When you take me in your flippers I grow weak
Turtle Woman, when I'm near you I can't speak

That day in June was to be our wedding day
You couldn't wear a gown but, what the hey
I don't care what those gossips say
Turtle Woman, you stole my heart away

Things were about as good as they would get
But nothin' last forever, that's what you said
When I say you with another I turned red
How could you fall in love with a pinhead?
