Lion Tamer (The Magic Show)
I'd like to be a lion tamer,
Sequins and tights and silk top hats.
I know I could be a lion tamer,
I've always gotten along with cats.
I'd have a whip but never use it,
I'd simply hold it in my hand.
I'd like to be a lion tamer.
If I could be a lion tamer
I would be someone grand.
I couldn't be a ballerina,
I never could stand on my toes.
I couldn't be a Spanish dancer,
I'd look ridiculous with a rose.
But ev'ryone has a special calling,
Something that only she can do.
I could be such a lion tamer.
If I could be lion tamer
I would be special too.
I could begin with baby leopards,
Move on to tiger cubs and then,
After I learned to handle lions,
Maybe I could work up to men.
I never wanted fancy mansions,
Butlers and footmen liveried.
I never wanted lots of money,
Money can't buy what you really need.
I never prayed for any favors,
But here I am on knobby knee.
Please let me be a lion tamer.
If I could be a lion tamer,
Wouldn't he have to finally notice me?
Sequins and tights and silk top hats.
I know I could be a lion tamer,
I've always gotten along with cats.
I'd have a whip but never use it,
I'd simply hold it in my hand.
I'd like to be a lion tamer.
If I could be a lion tamer
I would be someone grand.
I couldn't be a ballerina,
I never could stand on my toes.
I couldn't be a Spanish dancer,
I'd look ridiculous with a rose.
But ev'ryone has a special calling,
Something that only she can do.
I could be such a lion tamer.
If I could be lion tamer
I would be special too.
I could begin with baby leopards,
Move on to tiger cubs and then,
After I learned to handle lions,
Maybe I could work up to men.
I never wanted fancy mansions,
Butlers and footmen liveried.
I never wanted lots of money,
Money can't buy what you really need.
I never prayed for any favors,
But here I am on knobby knee.
Please let me be a lion tamer.
If I could be a lion tamer,
Wouldn't he have to finally notice me?
