  G  Gmaj7    C   Cmaj7  
  I  may go out tomorrow 
     A              C     D  
 If  I can borrow a coat to wear 
G    Gmaj7 C          Cmaj7         A  
Oh,  I’d step out in  style with my sincere smile

where  well fed faces all stop to stare 
G   Gmaj7   C       Cmaj7       A

They'll love us won't they? They feed us don’t they?

The great attraction everywhere 
             G                      C        Cm 
would be  Simon Smith and his dancing bear

Would be Simon Smith and the Amazing Dancing Bear.
