Carnival Lyrics

Carnival by Bikini Kill
Upbeat punk rock ditty about girls being exploited at the carnival, from the band's 1994
release, 'The C.D. Version of the First Two Records'. It's extremely easy to play, only
two chords (E and A). Listen to the song to get the rhythm and timing right, but it's
really, really simple. The first verse of Kathleen talking has drums only, and the guitar
comes in after that. Play with distortion.
Chords used (B string on A chord is optional):
INTRO VERSE:
This is a song about the seedy underbelly of the carnival
The part that only the kids know about
This is a song about sixteen-year-old girls giving carnies head
For free rides and hits of pot
I wanna go, I wanna go, I wanna go
I wanna go to the carnival
But I know that it costs sixteen dollars now
I wanna go to the carnival
But I know that it costs sixteen dollars now
Round, round, round...
Round, round, round...
I'll win that Motley Crue mirror
If it fucking kills me
Gonna lose twenty dollars while I'm there
See the girls with the feathered hair
They're wearing plastic, not real leather
Boots that go way up to there
Round, round, round...
Round, round, round...
It's by the Lacey mall
That's where you'll find me, y'all
