Wild Man From Borneo

(Kinky Friedman)

I'm the star of Captain Midnite's travelin' show
Came to this circus many moons ago
My mother's in your storybooks, she loved a jungle king
Left me standin' here alone inside the center ring

In a bamboo cage I crossed the ragin' sea
A livin' page torn clean from history
A hairy, scary, legendary screamin' souvenir
Now don't you come too close to me, don't you come too near

I'm the wild man from Borneo
The wild man from Borneo
You come to see what you wanna see
Ah, you come to see but you never come to know

The tattooed lady left the circus train
Lost all of her pictures in the rain
I wonder if you're happy, I wonder if you're free
I wonder if you'll ever know the mark you left on me

I'm the wild man from Borneo, The wild man
You come to see what you wanna see
Ah, you come to see but you never come to know

We come to see what we want to see
Oh, we come to see, but we never come to know
