American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
THE WAXWORK SHOW. Words by Albert Chevalier. Music by Edward Jones. 
Just give the dram a good old bane, and let the trumpet blow, sir; Walk up, walk up, you mustn't miss the monster waxwork show, air; I've figures representative of every blessed nation. I tell you what this show of mine's a liberal education. 
Refrain It's Gospel true, I give you my word; I ain't a man to blow; One "D's "the price, and too absurd for such a gorgeous show. 
There's Brigham Young with all his wives and numerous pro-geny, Which gives the lie direct to them as says he hasn't any; The three old maids of Lee, with Bonaparte and Richard Turpin, A realistic model of a sparrer wot's a-cherpin'.- Refrain. 
I've Jumbo and a model of the whale that swallered. Jonah, A costermonger welkin' out on Sunday with his donna; I've famous actors by the score in togs you can't call seedy; There's Bessie Bellwood, 'Arry Rickards, Kemble and Macready - Refrain 
I've Daniel in the lion's den, and the man who struck O'Hara, A model of the 'arp which once would sonud through 'alls of Tara; There's Gen'ral Booth, Uriah Heep, the Shah, and Mrs. Grundy, And a figure wot showsa the awful result of a-closin' the pubs on Sunday. 
I've celebrated burglars, too, and popular murdresses, In fashionable tourists' suits and most expensive dresses; You'll find a portrait-model, too, of every well-known martyr, There's Mr. Parnell and King John a-signin' the Magna Charter.- Refrain. 
There's life-sized reproductions of the nightingale two-headed, The youthful princes in the Tower a-sleepin' double-bedded; There's great composers by the score-Beethovens, Wagners, Lutzs, And King Canute by the sad seashore a-washin' 'is "tootsie- wootsies." -Refrain.
