Maureen and Stan were looking for a job    They got songs for every occasion    And a little limelight robbery    No one will employ them    There's nothing to decide    So he autographs his overdraft    While she goes out of her mind    Stuck on the wall with a thousand faces    Unwanted posters of the haunted places    Roll up for the ghost train    Non-stop through the city    Step right up and show your face    We only want the pretty ones    Roll up for the ghost train    Non-stop through the city    Step right up and show your face    We only want the pretty ones       Maureen and Stan at the skating rink    Looking for the drummer who threw up in the sink    Laughing and singing, dressed up like dice    Maybe they could freeze to death out there on the ice    Look at the graceful way she dances    One foot speaks, the other answers       Roll up for the ghost train    Non-stop through the city    Step right up and show your face    We only want the pretty ones    Roll up for the ghost train    Non-stop through the city    Step right up and show your face    We only want the pretty ones       She plays the queen of the fleapit    He plays a Spanish guitar    He got a black eye from a waitress    She's not seeing any stars    You can be refused, you can be replaced    You can change your name but you can't change your face    While they make believe it's just another holiday    They turn on each other when they hear that joker say       Roll up for the ghost train    Non-stop through the city    Step right up and show your face    We only want the pretty ones    Roll up for the ghost train    We only want the pretty ones
