Side Show movie - When I'm by Your Side lyrics
rate me<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>
<br>
