He bought a bullseye at the county fair

To show what a good shot he was

Cost him fourteen dollars and ninety-five

It's on the wall

Can you see, can you see, can you see, can you see it?

She caught a stuffed tiger full of styrofoam beads

Do you see how she carries with ease?

A safe smile wiped across her face

No fear for it's fabric teeth

You're a plate, you're a plate

You're a messy paper plate

You're a plate, you're a plate

You're a messy paper... Ow!

He swings a silver hammer on a copper plate

Sending lights shooting straight in the air

A brassy bell rings out, but I hear one sound

As he shouts “I'm a winner! I'm a winner! I'm a winner! I'm a winner!”

Stuck carny smiles with no teeth at all

Counting stacks of green paper bills

Next to those milk jugs that just won't fall

And a bursting money till

You're a plate, you're a plate

You're a messy paper plate

You're a plate, you're a plate

You're a messy paper... Ow!
