Bobbie Gentry
Salome Smith and Her Amazing Dancing Bear
[Verse 1]
I may go out tomorrow
If I can borrow a dress to wear
Oh, I'd step out in style
With my sincere smile and my dancin’ bear
[Pre-Chorus]
Outrageous, alarming
Courageous and charming
[Chorus]
Oh, who would think a girl and bear
Could be well-accepted everywhere?
Well, it's just amazing how fair people can be
[Verse 2]
Seen at the nicest places
Where well-fed faces all stop to stare
Making the grandest entrance
Is Salome Smith and her dancin' bear
[Pre-Chorus]
They’ll love us, won't they?
Thеy feed us, don't they?
[Chorus]
Oh who would think a girl and bear
Could be wеll-accepted everywhere?
Well, it's just amazing how fair people can be
[Pre-Chorus]
Who needs money
When you're funny?
[Chorus]
The big attraction everywhere
Will be Salome Smith and her dancing bear
It's Salome Smith and the amazing dancing bear
