[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
Simon Smith and the Amazing Dancing Bear was written by Randy Newman.
