Hi Diddle Dee Dee (An Actor's Life For Me)

Damn it all—everything
But the circus

Wonder who said that?
Somebody told us what we wanted to be
It was candy for the mind
Look behind them—you'll see
It was circusy

It was hi diddle diddle
It was cat and the fiddle
It was safe as can be
It was right down the middle
It was fantasy—fantasy galore
It was everything we ever wanted
It was that and so much more

Who was it that said—damn it all
Damn everything—but the circus
