Side Show: More Than We Bargained For - Voice
(Terry) Some hidden magnet is pulling me back
Back to this strange little show
An invisible force
Draging me off-course
Pulling me somewhere I know I shouldn't go
I want, I want
I want to see her
I want, I want
To look at her face
I need, I need
I need to see her
That's why I'm back in this place
(Buddy) We can't wait to show you
The work we've accomplished
You won't believe your own eyes
Meeting each night at the oddest of hours
Oh, how each hour flies
Our two girls have a special gift
I've only begun to explore
Any clouds of doubt will lift
I think we're getting more
Than we bargained for
(Terry) Oh, we'll see about that
Sounds like you've managed okay here?
(Buddy) Working in the midst of the strangest folks
They're helpful
I like them
They get my jokes
I thought they were performers
In a sad, bleak show
But here I am
I fit right in
Into a freak show
(Terry) So Buddy, you've finally found a home!
Are the girls giving you any trouble?
(Buddy) Violet is slow but we work 'til she gets it
Daisy does everything right
I'm more concerned
With some personal questions
I swear, I did not invite
I think Violet's sweet on me
Sweet, very hard to ignore
Daisy mentions you with glee
I think we're getting more
Than we bargained for
(Terry) Daisy asks about me?
(Buddy) Only about 50 times a day
(Terry) You're kidding
She thinks I'll make her famous
Get her foot in the door
(Buddy) I think we're getting more
Than we bargained for
Do you think they're pretty?
(Terry) Pretty?
(Buddy) Well, they are
(Terry) Let's get 'em flowers
(Buddy) That's going too far
(Terry) Why?
(Buddy) Flowers are romantic
Romance is in the air
So beware
(Terry) Oh, Buddy
You've got so much to learn
You don't know women
(Buddy) Not like them
(Terry) Let me set you right
(Buddy) I know more than you think
(Terry) They'll try to you
(Buddy) Oh, come on
(Terry) But you don't have to bite
I've known lots of women
(Buddy) So I've heard
(Terry) The lovely, the gruesome
I've seen things
I've tried things
But never a twosome
(Buddy) I'm not interested in that
(Terry) Then close your eyes
(Buddy) What?
(Terry) Just a little joke
(Buddy) It's no joking matter
(Terry) You worry too much
(Buddy) I'm just saying we need to look
(Terry) Look at what?
(Buddy) Look at where this road leads
(Terry) To vaudeville
(Buddy) It's not right we need to overlook their needs
They have needs (We're giving them a chance of a lifetime)
Are we doing what's fair and right? (Yes we are)
Wish I could know what's in store (Who knows that)
The future should be clear tonight
I think we're getting more (Are we getting more?)
(Both) Than we bargained for
Than we bargained for
Than we bargained for
Back to this strange little show
An invisible force
Draging me off-course
Pulling me somewhere I know I shouldn't go
I want, I want
I want to see her
I want, I want
To look at her face
I need, I need
I need to see her
That's why I'm back in this place
