Maureen and Stan were looking for a job
  They got songs for every occasion
  And a little limelight robbery
  No one will employ them
  There's nothing to decide
  So he autographs his overdraft
  While she goes out of her mind
  Stuck on the wall with a thousand faces
  Unwanted posters of the haunted places
  Roll up for the ghost train
  Non-stop through the city
  Step right up and show your face
  We only want the pretty ones
  Roll up for the ghost train
  Non-stop through the city
  Step right up and show your face
  We only want the pretty ones
  
  Maureen and Stan at the skating rink
  Looking for the drummer who threw up in the sink
  Laughing and singing, dressed up like dice
  Maybe they could freeze to death out there on the ice
  Look at the graceful way she dances
  One foot speaks, the other answers
  
  Roll up for the ghost train
  Non-stop through the city
  Step right up and show your face
  We only want the pretty ones
  Roll up for the ghost train
  Non-stop through the city
  Step right up and show your face
  We only want the pretty ones
  
  She plays the queen of the fleapit
  He plays a Spanish guitar
  He got a black eye from a waitress
  She's not seeing any stars
  You can be refused, you can be replaced
  You can change your name but you can't change your face
  While they make believe it's just another holiday
  They turn on each other when they hear that joker say
  
  Roll up for the ghost train
  Non-stop through the city
  Step right up and show your face
  We only want the pretty ones
  Roll up for the ghost train
  We only want the pretty ones
