Side Show movie - Rare Songbirds on Display lyrics
rate me<br>
Daisy & Violet:<br>
We're singing sweet bird songs of love<br>
As we float and flutter above<br>
And each little sparrow and dove<br>
Wants to play<br>
Our love songs are music for mating<br>
But these little lovebirds are waiting<br>
Will someone find us captivating prey?<br>
<br>
Daisy, Violet, Company:<br>
Till that day<br>
They're songbirds on display<br>
<br>
Company:<br>
Two birds in flight<br>
Delighting far above the fray<br>
They're winging<br>
They're singing<br>
They're bringing melodies our way<br>
Ah - what a feather spray<br>
Rare songbirds on display<br>
<br>
<br>
Buddy:<br>
Good show, you two!<br>
<br>
Violet:<br>
Remember when the compliments came with kisses?<br>
<br>
Daisy:<br>
Not anymore<br>
People might talk<br>
<br>
Violet:<br>
Imagine what they'd say<br>
<br>
Buddy:<br>
That's not fair<br>
The tabloids keep trying to link you to us<br>
Why add fuel to the fire?<br>
<br>
Daisy:<br>
Why not?<br>
They write whatever they want<br>
<br>
Violet:<br>
God forbid they should mention you in connection with us<br>
<br>
Buddy:<br>
Violet, nothing makes me prouder than working with you<br>
And you know it<br>
<br>
Violet:<br>
Sometimes I do<br>
<br>
Jake:<br>
Let's get cracking, you two<br>
We're gonna be late for the party<br>
<br>
Buddy:<br>
What an exciting night<br>
New York's society coming to meet you<br>
<br>
Daisy:<br>
I can't wait<br>
<br>
Violet:<br>
I can<br>
<br>
Daisy:<br>
Being the toast of the town<br>
Is such a hardship for her<br>
<br>
Violet:<br>
People point and stare<br>
<br>
Buddy:<br>
But this crowd does it with flair<br>
<br>
Daisy:<br>
And we've got beautiful gowns to wear<br>
<br>
Jake:<br>
Wait till you see them<br>
Take it from a cannibal<br>
Good enough to eat<br>
<br>
Violet:<br>
You're very sweet<br>
But stop fussing over me<br>
<br>
Daisy:<br>
We want you to have fun<br>
<br>
Buddy:<br>
I'll see to that<br>
<br>
Jake:<br>
So will I<br>
<br>
Violet:<br>
All right, I'll try<br>
<br>
Buddy:<br>
That's all we ask.<br>
Now hurry up and change, you two<br>
<br>
<br>
Daisy and Violet leave to get ready for the party...<br>
<br>
Buddy:<br>
Does Violet seem unhappy to you?<br>
<br>
Jake:<br>
Maybe so<br>
<br>
Buddy:<br>
Do you know why?<br>
<br>
Jake:<br>
Maybe so<br>
<br>
Buddy:<br>
You know I'd do anything to help her<br>
<br>
Jake:<br>
Only guessing<br>
But remember when remember when you first met the girls?<br>
And they told you their dreams?<br>
<br>
Buddy:<br>
Like it was yesterday<br>
<br>
Jake:<br>
Well, Daisy's dream has come true<br>
They're famous now<br>
<br>
Buddy:<br>
But Violet doesn't have a husband<br>
<br>
Jake:<br>
She could<br>
<br>
Buddy:<br>
Of course<br>
She's a wonderful woman<br>
But she is a Siamese twin<br>
<br>
Jake:<br>
That wouldn't matter to me<br>
<br>
Buddy:<br>
To you?<br>
<br>
Jake:<br>
I mean, it wouldn't matter to someone who loved her<br>
<br>
Terry:<br>
Well, gentlemen, if you had any doubts,<br>
tonight is proof that we have arrived.<br>
<br>
Buddy:<br>
We're dressed for the occasion.<br>
<br>
Jake:<br>
Not bad for some bums from the sideshow.<br>
<br>
Buddy:<br>
Speak for yourself.<br>
<br>
Terry:<br>
And I am so confident about our future,<br>
that I have resigned from the Orpheum Circuit.<br>
<br>
Buddy:<br>
You're kidding.<br>
<br>
Terry:<br>
I can't stand to be away from our girls.<br>
<br>
