P. T. BARNUM:
Now is this really how you like to spend your days?
Whiskey and misery, and parties and plays
PHILLIP CARLYLE:
If I were mixed up with you, I'd be the talk of the town
Disgraced and disowned, another one of the clowns
P. T. BARNUM:
But you would finally live a little, finally laugh a little
Just let me give you the freedom to dream and it'll
Wake you up and cure your aching
Take your walls and start 'em breaking
Now that's a deal that seems worth taking
But I guess I'll leave that up to you
PHILLIP CARLYLE:
Well it's intriguing, but to go would cost me greatly
So what percentage of the show would I be taking?
P. T. BARNUM:
Fair enough, you'd want a piece of all the action
I'd give you seven, we could shake and make it happen
PHILLIP CARLYLE:
I wasn't born this morning, eighteen would be just fine
P. T. BARNUM:
Why not just go ahead and ask for nickels on the dime
PHILLIP CARLYLE:
Fifteen
P. T. BARNUM:
I'd do eight
PHILLIP CARLYLE:
Twelve
P. T. BARNUM:
Maybe nine
PHILLIP CARLYLE:
Ten
BOTH:
Don't you wanna get away to a whole new part you're gonna play
'Cause I got what you need, so come with me and take the ride
To the other side
So if you do like I do
So if you do like me
Forget the cage, 'cause we know how to make the key
Oh, suddenly we're free to fly
We're going to the other side
So if you do like I do
(To the other side)
So if you do like me
(We're going to the other side)
'Cause if we do we're going to the other side
We're going to the other side
