DESCRIPTION:
I have always loved this Randy Newman song. It has such a poignant under current to it that somehow conveys a jaunty hope and gratfulness in the midst of poverty and marginalization....
I've done this mainly for my little grandaughter. Who at her tender age may actually be amazed and amused at a little dancing bear. I have spared no expense on animatronics- seriously !

Chords and tabs will follow shortly.... I've played this in D. I used the chord sheet below and just used the Soprano/Concert/Tenor chord shapes....

I may go out tomorrow if I can borrow a coat to wear

Oh who would think a boy and bear would be well accepted everywhere

Well it's just amazing how fair people can be

Seen at the nicest places where well-fed faces all stop to stare
Making the grandest entrance is Simon Smith and his dancing bear.
They'll love us won't they? They feed don't they?
Oh who would think a boy and bear could be well-accepted everywhere
Well, it's just amazing how fair people can be.

Well who needs money when you're funny
The big attraction everywhere will be Simon Smith and his dancing bear
Yeah, Simon Smith and the Amazing Dancing Bear
