Admit one

Welcome to the show.

We're glad you've come,

I hope you know.

It's about a fabulous creature. 

He's the star of the feature.

A monster all powerful,

With a brow so sorrowful.

Who would never hurt a flea.

If that's what you came to see,

You should know

It's pure mythology.

For there isn't such a being.

The one with might is always killing.

Not docile and kind,

Like the one we've got inside.

But you paid your coppers,

So we can't stop ya 

From seeing the monster

Who's gonna come out and shock ya

With his hideous face,
Yet with benevolence and grace.

This monsters' a real charmer.
We put a woman in his cage
But he'll never harm her.
He'll just gaze at her beauty.
To protect her is his duty.
Watch this lovable brute
Whose ugliness bore fruit
To something amazing.

Come on in, step inside.
You won't believe the monster's pride.
He must think she could be his bride.
What a dubious proposition!
Fantasy and fiction only go so far.
To think on it is quite bizarre.
A beauty with a beast.
A monster with an angel.
You see the angle?
Neither do I.
