This song deals with the subject of the manufactured freak–not actual humans with actual conditions, but phonies passed off by freak shows as the real deal. In this case, it’s a clean-shaven baboon, passed off by the Freak Show as a dwarf with mental disabilities.
Mickey the Mumbling Midget Lyrics
[Herman and (Chorus)]
(Mickey the Mumbling Midget)
Was ten years old today
(Mickey the Mumbling Midget)
Somehow ran away
(Mickey the Mumbling Midget)
Was not in his cage
(Mickey the Mumbling Midget)
Soon would need a shave
[Mr. Skull]
Lassie looked at something shapeless lying on the lawn
Scratchy at some scabby sores and stretching as it yawned
It seemed to be uneasy as it looked up at the moon
She sensed the tension in the air and smelled a sweet baboon
[Herman]
Pungent was the warm aroma drifting in the air
She hoped he would smell her heat and lick her silken hair
[Chorus]
Run Mickey run
Run Lassie
