“Walk up! walk up! just going to begin.”
(imitates Showman.)
That’s what they used to say to bring folks in—
“This giant is all real, no sawdust here!”
Mona. Made you a giant, did they. That was queer.
Noo. “There’s no deception, gents! no pads or straw!”
And then they’d pinch my legs to make me roar.
Stick pins into my calves.
Mona. Oh, that was cruel.
Noo. And if I would’t act they’d stop my gruel.
