There's a Flamingo Road
in every town.
It is the street of social success,
the avenue of achievement,
the golden goal for all who struggle
and sometimes find that from the top,
And so, in Boldon City,
a small town with people of big dreams,
their Flamingo Road had
touched them all with ambition.
The political factions who killed flies
on the porch of the Palmer House,
the big timers who killed care
at Lute Mae's,
a place that had been called many things,
most recently a road house,
the Tony Night Club set
who sip champagne,
the gang at Pete's cafe
who dunk doughnuts,
even the gaudy show folks
with Coyne's Carnival
who once a year set up their tents
on the wrong side of the tracks.
corners of the Earth!
We have none other than Bonnieta,
300 pounds of loving.
She shakes and shimmies like the jelly
on your grandmother's table.
Also, on the inside...
You won't see it again
for another year.
Only in town once a year, folks!
All right, then! Glad to see you.
Hey, hey! Hey, hey! Come in!
Come in, folks, come in!
Hurry, hurry, hurry!
The big-time show.
The biggest show on wheels!
Twelve cars of outstanding attractions
brought to you
from the four corners of the Earth.
Hey, hey! Hey, hey!
Hurry, hurry! Right this way
for that featured attraction.
Those masked beauties of the Sultan's
harem, in exotic, tantalizing,
captivating dances of the Far East
as you've always wanted to see them.
It's spicy! It's daring!
It's a thing to take your breath away!
A dance to make the old men young
and the young men old!
A dance, gentlemen, which is a replica,
in the Far East.
I can see that you're all men of the
world, traveled and sophisticated.
But you, gentlemen,
I'm sure each and every one of you
will understand and appreciate
the unveiled beauty which will be yours
for the small price of 10 cents, one dime,
the tenth part of a dollar!
Every year you've been telling me
the same thing.
"Next season will be better. "
But it ain't. Now I want my money.
Rent for the carnival lot, the light bills,
and the money I loaned you two years ago.
But, sir, I just don't have
the necessary funds at the moment.
Things in the entertainment world
are at a low ebb, sir.
Yes, sir, the tide is sure enough out.
Now, sir, if you'll just give me
a little bit more time, I...
All the time I'm gonna give you is
the time that it takes me to go uptown,
get an attachment against your show
and find the sheriff to serve the papers.
I'm gonna take your show.
That's what I'm gonna do.
The young ladies will unveil briefly,
the box office will open
and the big show will continue
on the inside.
And, now, ladies and gentlemen,
if you'll be kind enough
to step up to the box office,
the young lady will oblige you by
selling you the ticket and the big show...
Hurry it up, girls.
We're folding the show!
Not again, Tom!
Get out of those costumes.
Get going, girls.
Here we go again, kids.
Run, run, run. What do they think we are?
Three blind mice?
Tell them to strike the canvas
and get loaded.
We got to beat an attachment
across the state line!
Get yourself together, girls.
The sheriff's breathing down our necks.
Hello, there, Sheriff!
Hi, Sheriff Semple, sir!
- Boatright!
- Yes, sir.
- Boatright, where's my other chair at?
- Goodness, Sheriff, if it ain't...
I remember once before
I didn't have me a chair for my hat.
It dropped to the floor.
I had to pick it up myself.
