Theodore

Crowds of people congregate below him
On the sidewalks craning up their necks
And Theodore is hanging by his fingers
And below the crow is making bets

The chestnut man is marching down
To make a sale or two
Followed by the ice cream vendor

Isn't it a pity what they'll drive a man to do?
And from such a nice hotel

Theodore, they're watching you

Must be nice to climb the social ladder
To rise above the crowd to such degree
And Theodore is clinging to the ledge now
The absolute in high society

The manager is quite upset
He needs a drink or two
But he can't the rules, you know

Isn't it a pity what they'll drive a man to do?
And from such a nice hotel

Theodore, they're watching you

As he swings above the crowds
In the streets below the people point
Please dear man decide your fate the choice is yours
Now don't you leave them dangling

Crowds of people congregate below him
On the sidewalks craning up their necks
And Theodore is hanging by his fingers
And below the crow is making bets

The chestnut man is marching down
To make a sale or two
Followed by the ice cream vendor

Isn't it a pity what they'll drive a man to do?
And from such a nice hotel

Theodore, they're watching you
