  • Randy Newman - Simon Smith & The Amazing Dancing Bear

    I may go out tomorrow if I can borrow a coat to wear
    Oh, Id step out in style with my sincere smile and my dancing bear
    Outrageous, alarming, courageous, charming
    Oh, who would think a boy and bear
    Could be well accepted everywhere
    Its just amazing how fair people can be
    Seen at the nicest places where well-fed faces all stop to stare
    Making the grandest entrance is simon smith and his dancing bear
    Theyll love us, wont they?
    They feed us, dont they?
    Oh, who would think a boy and bear
    Could be well accepted everywhere
    Its just amazing how fair people can be
    Who needs money when youre funny?
    The big attraction everywhere
    Will be simon smith and his dancing bear

  • Willynilly from BrooklynMaybe Simon would be less concerned with getting enough to eat if he didn't have to also feed the bear. Perhaps training a bird to dance would have been a wiser choice.
