Dancing Bear The Mamas & The Papas

I wouldn't wanna be a chimney sweep
All black from head to foot
From climbing in them chimneys
And cleaning out that soot

With a broom and ladder and pail
The darkened walls I scale
And far, and high
I see a patch of sky

I'd rather be the gypsy
(I'd rather be the gypsy)
Who's camped at the edge of town
(Camped at the edge of town)
The one who has the dancing bear
(Dancing bear)
That follows him around

And he lifts his big foot up
He puts his big foot down
Then bows, then twirls
And dances 'round and 'round

I found I was a cabin boy
Last night as I did dream
Bound aboard a magic ship
For a land I'd never seen
