When the Sun Goes Down in the South - 1985 Original Broadway Cast Lyrics

When the sun goes down in the south
And the moon comes up in the East
Well, step right up, see the wonder of the ages
It's a guaranteed visual feast

When the darkness falls on the town
And the North Star's startin' to rise
Well, you can't imagine the menagerie air
Created by a couple of guys

Well, anybody wonderin' what they're going to see
Gonna have to ante up a dollar for the ticket
Anybody wonderin' who's goin' on
Is gonna find out when they chase us through the thicket

When the darkness falls on the town
And the North Star's startin' to rise
Well, you can't imagine the menagerie air
Created by a couple of guys

When the sun goes down in the South
And the hayseeds stand in line
Well, step right up and see the duo bodily do
The doo wop ditty on the clothesline

When the darkness falls on the town
And the North Star's startin' to rise
Well, you can't imagine the menagerie air
Created by a couple of guys

When the sun goes down in the south
And the moon comes up in the East
Well, step right up, see the wonder of the ages
It's a guaranteed visual feast

When the darkness falls on the town
And the North Star's startin' to rise
Well, you can't imagine the menagerie air
Created by a couple of guys

Anybody wonderin' what they' re going to see
Gonna have to ante up a dollar for the ticket
Anybody wonderin' who's goin' on
Gonna find out when they chase us through the thicket

When the sun goes down in the South
And the North Star's startin' to rise
Oh, you can't imagine the menagerie aire
Created by a couple of guys

When the sun goes down in the south
And the moon comes up in the East
Well, step right up and see the wonder of the ages
It's a guaranteed visual feast

When the darkness falls on the town
And the North Star's startin' to rise
Well, you can't imagine the menagerie air
Created by a couple of guys
You can't imagine the menagerie air
Created by a couple of guys!
