Side Show movie - When I'm by Your Side lyrics

<br>

Daisy & Violet:<br>

You are my favorite new playmate<br>

I love the fun you provide<br>

A song and a laugh<br>

Are better by half<br>

When I'm by your side<br>

Happy to be your companion<br>

Glad that I qualified<br>

I feel as grand as the canyon<br>

When I'm by your side<br>

People stop dead when they've seen us<br>

We take their staring in stride<br>

Can't fit a needle between us<br>

When I'm by your side<br>

We're an unusual duo<br>

Don't always swim with the tide<br>

But who needs a boat?<br>

I'm always afloat<br>

When I'm by your side<br>

<br>

They do a dance that Buddy taught to them...<br>

<br>

Daisy & Violet:<br>

I like what I duo can do<br>

The combination is greater<br>

Than the sum of its parts<br>

Should we cement this arrangement?<br>

Now that it's tested and tried<br>

We're such a tight weave<br>

I don't want to leave<br>

We make a matched set<br>

A perfect duet<br>

Like eggs on a ham<br>

Like twins to Siam<br>

I'm by your side<br>

<br>

<br>

Their friends applaud wildly, but The Boss hears them...<br>

<br>

The Boss:<br>

What the hell is all this racket?!<br>

I might have known.<br>

What are you all doing here?<br>

<br>

Daisy:<br>

They came to hear us sing.<br>

<br>

The Boss:<br>

Sing?<br>

<br>

Violet:<br>

We can sing<br>

We did sing<br>

<br>

The Boss:<br>

You girls back to your trailer!<br>

<br>

Daisy:<br>

Don't tell us what to do<br>

<br>

The Boss:<br>

You girls are asking for it!<br>

<br>

Violet:<br>

We're not asking for anything<br>

<br>

Daisy:<br>

We're leaving the sideshow<br>

<br>

The Boss:<br>

Well, we'll see about that.<br>

Get out of my way, Jake!<br>

Jake!<br>

You get out of my way or you get out of this sideshow!<br>

Have you all lost your minds?<br>

I will fire the lot of you!<br>

<br>

Jake:<br>

And put yourself on display?<br>

<br>

The Boss:<br>

So this is the thanks I get?<br>

Giving you food and shelter in this depression.<br>

<br>

Roustabout #4:<br>

Shelter?<br>

<br>

Roustabout #3:<br>

Ramshackled trailers<br>

<br>

Roustabout #2:<br>

Food?<br>

Stale bread and slop<br>

<br>

Roustabout #1:<br>

And you charge us for those<br>

Take it our of our pay<br>

<br>

The Boss:<br>

I give you jobs!<br>

<br>

Roustabout #3:<br>

We do our jobs<br>

You take the gates<br>

<br>

Roustabout #1:<br>

We hold our tounges<br>

<br>

Roustabout #2:<br>

While you berate and scorn<br>

<br>

Roustabout #4:<br>

And treat us wrong<br>

<br>

All:<br>

We've had enough<br>

We won't go on<br>

You better change<br>

Or we'll be gone<br>

And leave you high and dry<br>

<br>

Sheik:<br>

Or do you want to say goodbye?<br>

<br>

All:<br>

Say goodbye to the freak show<br>

To your singular source of dough<br>

If you push too hard<br>

While you hit too low<br>

Say goodbye to the freak show<br>

Goodbye<br>

<br>

The Boss:<br>

I've spent a lifetime in sideshows<br>

I can spot a con a mile away<br>

When that snake in a suit sheds his skin<br>

All they'll have is hell to pay<br>

I'm one of you<br>

And now our enterprise<br>

Is less than before<br>

So we need each other more<br>

Down the road we've got a show to do<br>

Tomorrow we play a new site<br>

All of us could use some rest<br>

So I will say goodnight<br>

<br>

The Boss leaves...<br>
