Mighty Bear

Hey, come and see my dancing bear
For just a nickel, stay and stare
I do not need a whip and chair
He has no claws, or shiny hair
He's but a harmless, toothless bear

I have him on this rusty chain
Right through his nose, he feels no pain
He dances in the sun or rain
And if he won't, he gets the cane
He won't fight back, that'd be insane

Now dancing's just a little taste
I brought this needle just in case
When you get bored, I'll stick his face
Now watch him tear, the big disgrace
Once mighty bear, now just a waste

So come and see my dancing bear
He lives a year, that would be rare
His life's no good but, I don't care
'Cause I'm still broke, life isn't fair!
So, have you got a dime to spare?
