Barnum - Bigger Isn't Better Lyrics |
1980 Broadway Barnum the Musical - Bigger Isn't Better Lyrics
TOM THUMB: Bigger isn't better Taller isn't braver Stronger isn't always wise
Smaller isn't necessarily the lesser Guts can come in any size
Lady luck can favor Just a little shaver Over one who's 6-foot-3
Brains in any tussle Mop the floor with muscle Bet your life I'm glad I'm me
(Chorus:) Bigger isn't keener Larger isn't bolder Higher might be low inside When you need to lean upon a friendly shoulder Narrow's just as good as wide See the mighty lion sittin there And crying bitten by a tiny flea Mammoth was colossal what's he now? A fossil! Bet your life I'm glad I'm me
What strong and hope they lag along Get brains and heart That handsome hunk might be a Lilliputian mentally Proven consequently... Though he shows his shoulders twice as big as boulders If his brain's a tiny pea When your in a pickle He ain't worth a nickel Bet your life I'm...Bet your life I'm glad I'm me
(spoken) Ladies and Gentlemen together for the first time Mister PT Barnum's two star attractions General Top Dog and Jumbo!
That's some elephant!
Aw, isn't the little guy cute?
Let me see, let me see!
BRANDON, get back here!
I'm OK Mom!
(back to singing) The dinosaur's no more, The dear old dodo's dead, But right there on that floor some ants will still be treadin after Armageddon Bet there isn't a hero, weight is less than zero Height ain't worth a hoot in hell Show me any hunk of man to match the spunk of Tiny Tim or Little Nell Giants look so awesome folks are scared to cross em' None the less I guarantee Small as Yankee Doodle If he's in the moodle beat the whole Caboodle using just his noodle... Bet your life I'm glad I'm ME!!!
