Dogs and Ponies

Dogs and Ponies

It don’t matter what you’ve really done
As long as you got the right shoes on
Nobody cares; nobody really wants to know
Keep on smilin’, careful what you say
Don’t let on the emperor ‘s dressed that way
Make sure it’s tidy; keep those ducks in their rows

Dogs and Ponies
All they want is just a Dog and Pony show

Don’t make waves, keep the blinders on
Follow the rules even when they’re wrong
Keep your head buried firmly in the sand
Don’t ask questions; don’t ask why
Toe the line; keep the flag held high
Please remember when to bow and when to stand

All they want is just a Dog and Pony show

Keep it spotless; keep it clean
Never ask what it really means
No need to strain; no need to tax your brain
It don’t matter who you really are
Long as you drive a bright, new, shiny car
Keep the bases loaded, the fix in on the game

Dogs and Ponies
(Yes the circus is here)
Dogs and Ponies
(Hear the monkeys cheer)
All they want is just a Dog and Pony show

Dogs and Ponies
(Place your bets)
Dogs and Ponies
(It’s a sure thing yes)
All they want is just a Dog and Pony show
