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>
