(Violent J)
Well hello, boys and girls! Come on in, see the show.
It's the mystical, magical, great Dark Carnival
Don't bother looking for parking, get ride of it!
It ain't like you ever coming back, you fuckin' idiot

(Shaggy 2 Dope)
The Carnival emerges only when you about to die,
and right now motherfucker, you about dead in the sky
So come and put your soul up on the Murder-Go-Round,
and we'll strap you down, and spin you into oblivion

(Violent J)
I got a spike for your neck with my ninja blowgun,
because I be the Juggalada Don Dada Lada Shogun
I swings my sword down and split you in two,
before you even fall, I bitch smack both of you

(Shaggy 2 Dope)
Welcome to our Carnival's 50,000 Juggalos,
freaks and weirdos, and killers at our shows

(Violent J)
I'm just glad we down with 'em (hate to be y'all)

(Shaggy 2 Dope)
And have a Juggalo shatter my skull, for the Carnival

(Chorus)
Welcome to the show, Shangri-La of the Dark Carnival. Welcome to the show, bitch boy you dead!
Welcome to the show, Shangri-La of the Dark Carnival. Welcome to the show, you dead, dead, dead, dead!

(Shaggy 2 Dope)
Welcome to my exhibit, I be the Shaggs,
Sit back and enjoy, relax your nipples and nutbags.
It's only Juggalos here you know what we about
Swingin' hatchets, Faygo, and our dick in your mouth

(Violent J)
So they call us a circus, we accept the role
We been sayin' that it's comin' for like 10 years or so
and everywhere that we go, from Alaska to Spain
I'm seein' Juggalos dancin in the Faygo rain

(Shaggy 2 Dope)
Some of those at our shows feel a Carnival high,
I seen them jump from the stage and float off into the sky.
They ain't never coming back,
their Carnival has been found,
and all we can do is dream about it, smoking 'em down

(Violent J)
I got love for dead people and I hope to die.
I got neden waitin' on me up in Shangri-La.
But if you really wanna hear the fuckin' devil's exhibit, the shit is called Hell's Pit run out and get it

(Chorus)
Welcome to the show, Shangri-La of the Dark Carnival. Welcome to the show, bitch boy you dead!
Welcome to the show, Shangri-La of the Dark Carnival. Welcome to the show, you dead, dead, dead, dead!

(Juggalo Chant repeats)
When it's your time,
Death is near,
step right up on over here
Games, prizes, shows and rides
it's that carnival paradise

(Chorus repeat until song ends)
Welcome to the show, Shangri-La of the Dark Carnival. Welcome to the show, because bitch boy you dead!
Welcome to the show, Shangri-La of the Dark Carnival. Welcome to the show, because you dead, dead, dead, dead!
