Simon Smith and his Amazing Dancing Bear lyrics, written by Randy Newman, as performed on The Muppet Show by Scooter and Fozzie Bear

I may go out tomorrow if I can borrow a coat to wear
Oh I’d step out in style with my sincere smile and my dancing bear
Outrageous alarming courageous charming
Oh who would think a boy and bear
Could be well accepted everywhere
It’s just amazing how fair people can be
