The Magic Show OBC - 3. Lion Tamer (Dale Soules)

"The Magic Show" was a musical revue written as an excuse to showcase the dazzling illusions of Doug Henning; originally starting life as "Spellbound" with book by David Cronenberg (yes, really) and music by Howard Shore, the musical received a complete overhaul on its way to Broadway. The book was rewritten by Bob Randall and a new score from Stephen Schwartz hot off the heels of his massive success "Pippin." Here, Doug's assistant Cal (Dale Soules) laments her unrequited love with the gorgeous ballad "Lion Tamer" (which, in usual Schwartz fashion, is in 7/4 time). Lyrics: (During the song, DOUG teaches the BOYS slight of hand in slow motion) CAL I'D LIKE TO BE A LION TAMER SEQUINS AND TIGHTS AND SILK TOP HATS I KNOW I COULD BE A LION TAMER I'VE ALWAYS GOTTEN ALONG WITH CATS I'D HAVE A WHIP, BUT NEVER USE IT I'D SIMPLY HOLD IT IN MY HAND I WANT TO BE A LION TAMER IF I COULD BE A LION TAMER I WOULD BE SOMEONE GRAND I COULDN'T BE A BALLERINA I NEVER COULD STAND ON MY TOES I COULDN'T BE A SPANISH DANCER I'D LOOK RIDICULOUS WITH A ROSE BUT EVERYONE HAS A SPECIAL CALLING SOMETHING THAT ONLY HE CAN DO I WOULD BE SUCH A LION TAMER IF I COULD BE A LION TAMER I WOULD BE SPECIAL TOO I COULD BEGIN WITH BABY LEOPARDS MOVE ON TO TIGER CUBS AND THEN AFTER I LEARN TO HANDLE LIONS MAYBE I COULD WORK UP TO MEN I'VE NEVER WANTED FANCY MANSIONS BUTLERS AND FOOTMEN LIVERIED I'VE NEVER WANTED LOTS OF MONEY MONEY CAN'T BUY WHAT I REALLY NEED I'VE NEVER PRAYED FOR ANY FAVORS BUT HERE I AM ON KNOBBY KNEE PLEASE LET ME BE A LION TAMER IF I COULD BE A LION TAMER WOULDN'T HE HAVE TO FINALLY NOTICE ME? (DOUG and the BOYS have now crossed U.S. of the arch and climbed up the ladder on the S.L. side to the top. The THREE kneel, pick up swords and place them upright. DOUG rises, crosses to CAL and at the end of the SONG, SHE rises and DOUG, with a wave of his hand, puts her to sleep for SWORD LEVITATION TRICK...)
