Whats the use of living if you never learn to laugh? Look at me, I grew up down among the riff and raff But you wont catch me glooming round without a hint of smile And when I have to do a thing, I do it right, with style! Cause if youre gonna be the one to take that tightrope walk, And if youre gonna be the one to make the gossips talk, If its your job to be the one who always takes the chance, And if you have to cross thin ice—then cross it in a dance! Now take the time when I was borrowing a thing or two— The owner of the house walked in—well, what was I to do? I bowed and said, Dont stir yourself, before he raised a shout, Thanks for your hospitality, Ill find my own way out! Cause if youre gonna be the one to take that tightrope walk, And if youre gonna be the one to make the gossips talk, If its your job to be the one who always takes the chance, And if you have to cross thin ice—then cross it in a dance! Id just come up a chimney, I was black from head to toe— Climbed to the yard to find a watchman—wouldnt 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 think hes running yet! Cause if youre gonna be the one to take that tightrope walk, And if youre gonna be the one to make the gossips talk, If its your job to be the one who always takes the chance, And if you have to cross thin ice—then cross it in a dance! Take my Companion—did you know I thought to steal her too? This pretty horse out in the street, no owner in my view— I grabbed her reins and hopped aboard, 1 thought I was home free, Until I looked into her eyes—and now the jokes on me! Cause now Ive got to be the one to take that tightrope walk And now Ive got to be the one wholl make the gossips talk, And its my job to be the one who always takes the chance— But when I have to cross thin ice, Ill cross it in a dance!
