Backstory:

I'm a former featurer, Ringling Bros Barnum & Bailey Circus clown, and wrote this rolling down the tracks. There's some truth to the story and a quart of imagination. It's still a popular circus song.

Lyrics:

                                                  
Tattooed Tillie
She's a tattoed lady...On a traveling carny show
That plays all the way from Tallahassee to Tupelo
She's kinda short and sassy...But she's a tattooed one of a kind
Cause she's got the Pacific Ocean...Tattooed on her behind

SHE'S TATTOOED TILLIE...QUEEN OF THE CARNIVAL LOT...HER LOVE IS WILLIE THE RUBBER MAN...THAT STRETCHES WHAT HE'S GOT
NIAGRA FALLS FLOWS FROM HER FOREHEAD AND FOAMS AT HER BONY KNEES
DOWN WHERE THE HONEYSUCKLE GROWS THERE'S TWELVE TATTOOED BEES.

She looks like the Sunday funnies...That got left out in the rain
Now thanks to Niagara Falls she's got water on the brain
She's got the Grapes of Wrath agrowing all around her waist
And she's got the Last Supper tattooed on the side of her face

For fifty cents extra...She's been known to show it all
Even beneath her bikini...Where Niagara does not fall
But they got laws protecting children every where in the south
So instead she'll show them the Constitution, tattoed inside of her mouth
