Side Show movie - You Deserve a Better Life lyrics

<br>

Buddy:<br>

When I happened upon this sideshow<br>

I said, 'They need a more dignified show'<br>

I felt the way you were presented<br>

Was completely wrong<br>

And when I heard your voices<br>

I said, 'They need a song'<br>

You deserve a better life<br>

No more worry<br>

No more strife<br>

For you possess a gift to cherish<br>

In this jungle you could perish<br>

We'll cut through it like a knife<br>

You deserve a better life<br>

<br>

The Boss:<br>

You should be long gone.<br>

That was our deal.<br>

<br>

Terry:<br>

I'd like to make you a new and better one.<br>

I'm impressed by your operation<br>

And let me say<br>

My appreciation of your hard work<br>

And business know-how<br>

Comes from years myself<br>

In low brow situations<br>

Trying to make a buck<br>

<br>

The Boss:<br>

Low brow?<br>

<br>

Terry:<br>

You deserve a better life<br>

No more worry<br>

No more strife<br>

For you possess a gift to cherish<br>

In this jungle they could perish<br>

I'll cut through it like a knife<br>

You deserve a better life<br>

I could make you a lot of money.<br>

<br>

<br>

The Boss:<br>

How?<br>

<br>

Terry:<br>

I'm a talent scout and a press agent<br>

from the Orpheum Circuit<br>

Your girls could play vaudeville.<br>

<br>

Daisy:<br>

Vaudeville?!<br>

<br>

The Boss:<br>

They're freaks.<br>

<br>

Terry:<br>

But they sing.<br>

<br>

The Boss:<br>

Caterwauling.<br>

<br>

Terry:<br>

Let me work with them.<br>

<br>

Daisy:<br>

Oh, please let us!<br>

<br>

Violet:<br>

Maybe we could learn something<br>

<br>

Terry:<br>

This fellow here,<br>

He's very good at teaching how to sing.<br>
