Philosophy
Oh, what's the use of living if you never learn to laugh?
Why look at me, I grew up down among the riff and raff
But you won't catch me glomming 'round with out a hint of smile
And if I have to do a thing, I do it right, with style!
'Cause if you're gonna be the one to take that tightrope walk,
And if your gonna be the one to makes the gossips talk,
If it's your job to be the one who always takes a chance,
And if you have to cross thin ice- then cross it in a dance!
Now take the time that I was "borrowing" a thing or two-
The owner of the house walked in- well, what was I to do?
I bowed and said, "Don't stir yourself," before he raised a shout,
"Thanks for your hospitality, I'll find my own way out!"
'Cause if you're gonna be the one to take that tightrope walk,
And if your gonna be the one to makes the gossips talk,
If it's your job to be the one who always takes a chance,
And if you have to cross thin ice- then cross it in a dance!
I just come up a chimney, I was black from head to toe-
Climbed to the yard to find a watchman- well wouldn't you just know!
But in the dark he took me for a demon, I would bet,
'Cause when I howled and went for him- I bet he's running yet!
'Cause if you're gonna be the one to take that tightrope walk,
And if your gonna be the one to makes the gossips talk,
If it's your job to be the one who always takes a chance,
And if you have to cross thin ice- then cross it in a dance!
Take my Companion- did you know I thought to steel her too?
This pretty horse out in the street, no owner in my view-
I grabbed her reigns and hopped aboard, I thought I was home free,
Until I looked into her eyes- and now the joke's on me!
Cause now I've got to be the one to take that tight-rope walk
And now I've got to be the one who makes the gossips talk,
And it's my job to be the one who always takes a chance-
But when I have to cross thin ice, I'll cross it in a dance!
