D-DU-UDU

I'd like to be a lion tamer,

Sequins and tights and silk top hats.

I know I could be a lion tamer,

I've always gotten along with cats.

I'd have a whip but never use it,

I'd simply hold it in my hand.

I'd like to be a lion tamer.

If I could be a lion tamer

I would be someone grand.

I couldn't be a ballerina,

I never could stand on my toes.

I couldn't be a Spanish dancer,

I'd look ridiculous with a rose.

But everyone has a special calling,

Something that only he can do.

I could be such a lion tamer,

If I could be lion tamer,

I would be special, too.

I could begin with baby leopards,

Move on to tiger cubs and then,

After I learned to handle lions,

Maybe I could work up to men.

I never wanted fancy mansions,

Butlers and footmen liveried.

I never wanted lots of money,

Money can't buy what you really need.

I never prayed for any favors,

But here I am on knobby knee.

Please let me be a lion tamer.

If I could be a lion tamer,

Wouldn't he have to

finally notice me?
