I saw you for the first time
In the movie "Freaks"
You fascinated me
With your smile and chubby cheeks
You were what they called
A 'Pinhead' back in the twenties
Side show attraction at Coney island
And featured in the movie "Freaks" in the thirties
You had a radiant smile
And a soft diminuer
But I know deep inside
Your happy moments were fewer
You passed away at twenty two
It was August of thirty four, that took you
Your spirit soared to the mighty skies
God has taken care of your lonely cries.
