Randy Newman
Simon Smith and the Amazing Dancing Bear
[Verse 1]
I may go out tomorrow
If I can borrow a coat to wear
Oh, I’d step out in style
With my sincere smile and my dancing bear
[Chorus 1]
Outrageous, alarming
Courageous, charming
Oh, who would think a boy and bear
Could be well-accepted everywhere?
It’s just amazing how fair people can be
[Verse 2]
Seen at the nicest places
Where well-fed faces all stop to stare
Makin' the grandest entrance
Is Simon Smith and his dancing bear
[Chorus 2]
They’ll love us, won’t they?
They feed us, don’t they?
Oh, who would think a boy and bear
Could be well-accepted everywhere?
It’s just amazing how fair people can be
[Chorus 3]
Who needs money
When you’re funny?
The big attraction everywhere
Will be Simon Smith and his dancing bear
It’s Simon Smith
And the amazing dancing bear
