Wild Man From Borneo

He ain't no freak and he ain't no geek

He is a star of
Captain Midnight's traveling show
He came to that circus many moons ago
His mother's in your story book
She loved the jungle king
Left him standing here alone
Inside the circus ring

In a bamboo cage he crossed the raging sea
A living page torn clear from history
A hairy scary legendary screaming souvenir
Don't you get too close to him
Don't you get too near

He's a wild man of Borneo
The wild man of Borneo when we come to see
What we want to see
We come to see but we never come to know

Now the tattooed lady left the circus train
And lost all of her pictures in the rain
He wonders if she's happy as
The midway lights grow dim
He wonders if she'll ever know the
Mark she left on him

He's a wild man of Borneo
The wild man of Borneo when we come to see
What we want to see
We come to see but we never come to know
When you come to see what you want to see
You come to see but you never come to know
