Played at the beginning of the concert at Boston, MA., Orpheum Theater on October 30, 2007. Lyrics reproduced below in full, although Morrissey didn't sing them all. The "I may go out tomorrow if I can borrow a coat to wear" part is cited to have been an influence on This Charming Man's lyrics.
Lyrics
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 Seen at the nicest places where well fed faces all stop to stare Making the grandest entrance is Simon Smith and his dancing bear They'll love us, won't they? They feed us, don't they? Oh, who would think a boy and bear Could be well accepted everywhere It's just amazing how fair people can be Who needs money when you're funny? The big attraction everywhere Will be Simon Smith and his dancing bear It's Simon Smith and the amazing dancing bear
