When I’m By Your Side
[DAISY & VIOLET]
You are my fav'rite new playmate
I love the fun you provide
A song and a laugh
Are better by half
When I'm by your side
Happy to be your companion
Glad that I qualified
I feel as grand as the canyon
When I'm by your side
People stop dead when they've seen us
We take their staring in stride
Can't fit a needle between us
When I'm by your side
We're an unusual duo
Don't always swim with the tide
But who needs a boat?
I'm always afloat
When I'm by your side
[instrumental; dance]
[DAISY & VIOLET]
I like what I duo can do
The combination is greater
Than the sum of its parts
Should we cement this arrangement?
Now that it's tested and tried
We're such a tight weave
I don't want to leave
We make a matched set
A perfect duet
Like eggs on a ham
Like twins to Siam
I'm by your side
