Side Show - When I'm By Your Side Lyrics |
Broadway revival (2014) Side Show the Musical - When I'm By Your Side Lyrics
Daisy & Violet: You are my favorite new playmate I love the fun you provide A song and a laugh Are better by half When I'm by your side Happy to be your companion Glad that I qualified I feel as grand as the canyon When I'm by your side People stop dead when they've seen us We take their staring in stride Can't fit a needle between us When I'm by your side We're an unusual duo Don't always swim with the tide But who needs a boat? I'm always afloat When I'm by your side
They do a dance that Buddy taught to them...
Daisy & Violet: I like what I duo can do The combination is greater Than the sum of its parts Should we cement this arrangement? Now that it's tested and tried We're such a tight weave I don't want to leave We make a matched set A perfect duet Like eggs on a ham Like twins to Siam I'm by your side
Their friends applaud wildly, but The Boss hears them...
The Boss: What the hell is all this racket?! I might have known. What are you all doing here?
Daisy: They came to hear us sing.
The Boss: Sing?
Violet: We can sing We did sing
The Boss: You girls back to your trailer!
Daisy: Don't tell us what to do
The Boss: You girls are asking for it!
Violet: We're not asking for anything
Daisy: We're leaving the sideshow
The Boss: Well, we'll see about that. Get out of my way, Jake! Jake! You get out of my way or you get out of this sideshow! Have you all lost your minds? I will fire the lot of you!
Jake: And put yourself on display?
The Boss: So this is the thanks I get? Giving you food and shelter in this depression.
Roustabout #4: Shelter?
Roustabout #3: Ramshackled trailers
Roustabout #2: Food? Stale bread and slop
Roustabout #1: And you charge us for those Take it our of our pay
The Boss: I give you jobs!
Roustabout #3: We do our jobs You take the gates
Roustabout #1: We hold our tounges
Roustabout #2: While you berate and scorn
Roustabout #4: And treat us wrong
All: We've had enough We won't go on You better change Or we'll be gone And leave you high and dry
Sheik: Or do you want to say goodbye?
All: Say goodbye to the freak show To your singular source of dough If you push too hard While you hit too low Say goodbye to the freak show Goodbye
The Boss: I've spent a lifetime in sideshows I can spot a con a mile away When that snake in a suit sheds his skin All they'll have is hell to pay I'm one of you And now our enterprise Is less than before So we need each other more Down the road we've got a show to do Tomorrow we play a new site All of us could use some rest So I will say goodnight
The Boss leaves...
