LYRICS:
BARNUM:
Right here
Right now
I put the offer out
I don't want to chase you down
I know you see it
You run
With me
And I can cut you free
Out of the drudgery and walls you keep in
So trade that typical
For something colorful
And if it's crazy
Live a little crazy
You can play it sensible
A king of conventional
Or you can risk it all and see
Don't you wanna get away
From the same old part you gotta play?
'Cause I got what you need
So come with me and take the ride
It'll take you to the other side
'Cause you can do like you do
Or you can do like me
Stay in the cage, or you'll finally take the key
Oh, damn! Suddenly you're free to fly
It'll take you to the other side
PHILLIP:
Okay
My friend
You want to cut me in
Well. I hate to tell you
But it just won't happen
So thanks
But no
I think I'm good to go
'Cause I quite enjoy the life
You say I'm trapped in
Now I admire you
And that whole show you do
You're on to something, really it's something
But I live among the swells
And we don't pick up peanut shells
I'll have to leave that up to you
Don't you know that I'm okay
With this uptown part I get to play?
'Cause I got what I need
And I don't want to take the ride
I don't need to see the other side
So go and do like you do
I'm good to do like me
Ain't in a cage, so I don't need to take the key
Oh, damn! Can't you see I'm doing fine
I don't need to see the other side
BARNUM:
Now is this really how
you like to spend your days?
Whiskey and misery
And parties and plays?
PHILLIP:
If I were mixed up with you
I'dd be the talk of the town
Disgraced and disowned
Another one of the clowns
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:
Well, it's intriguing
But to go would cost me greatly
So what percentage
Of the show would I be taking?
BARNUM:
Well, fair enough
You'd want a piece of all the action
I'd give you seven
We could shake and make it happen
PHILLIP:
I wasn't born this morning
Eighteen would be just fine
BARNUM:
Why not just go ahead
And ask for nickels on the dime?
PHILLIP:
Fifteen!
BARNUM:
I'd do eight
PHILLIP:
Twelve!
BARNUM:
Maybe nine
PHILLIP:
Ten!
BARNUM and PHILLIP:
Don't you wanna get away to a...
PHILLIP:
Whole...
BARNUM:
New...
BARNUM and PHILLIP:
Part you're gonna play?
PHILLIP:
'Cause I got...
BARNUM:
What you need...
BARNUM and PHILLIP:
So come with me and take the ride
To the other side
BARNUM:
So if you do like I do
PHILLIP:
So we can do like me
BARNUM and PHILLIP:
Forget the cage, 'cause we know how to make the key
Oh, damn! Suddenly we're free to fly
We're going to the other side
PHILLIP:
So if you do like I do
BARNUM:
To the other side!
PHILLIP:
So if you do like me
BARNUM:
We're going to the other side!
PHILLIP:
'Cause if we do we're going...
BARNUM and PHILLIP:
To the other side
We're going to the other side
