 For something

[Bridge]
[BARNUM]
             
 Is this reall

              
y how you like

    
 to spend your

 days?
             
 Whiskey and m

            
isery and part

        
ies and plays

[PHILLIP]
          
If I were mixe

d up with you
           
I'd be the tal

k of the town
   
Disgraced and 

disowned
        
Another one of

 the clowns

[BARNUM]
              
But you would 


finally live a

 little

Finally laugh 

a little
             
 Just let me g

            
ive you the fr

         
eedom to dream
          
And it'll wake

 you up, and c

ure your achin

g

Take your wall

s and start 'e

m breaking

Now that's a d

eal that seems

 worth taking
           
But I guess I'

              
ll leave that 

       
up to you

 [PHILLIP]

Well it's intr

iguing, but to

 go would cost

 me greatly

So what percen

tage of the sh

ow would I be 

taking?

[BARNUM]

Fair enough, y

ou'd want a pi

ece of all the

 action

I'd give you s

even, we could

 shake and mak

e it happen.

 [PHILLIP]

I wasn't born 

this morning
Eighteen would be just fine

[BARNUM]

Why not just g

o ahead and as

k for nickels 

on a dime?

 [PHILLIP]

Fifteen

[BARNUM]
N.C.
I'd do eight

 [PHILLIP]

Twelve

[BARNUM]
N.C.
Maybe nine

 [PHILLIP]

Ten

BARNUM & [PHILLIP]
