Showman Dan Songtext
von Madeleine Peyroux

Hey papa, stop swappin′ pop, talkin' shop
Let the beat drop and do that dance
Shake it up, break it up, long as you can wake it up
It′s right in your hands

You've got to know you're the man
Go on and show ′em, Showman Dan

You′re playin' it cool, baby, whoop you′re a hoot and I'm in the loop
I got the scoop when I saw you swoop on down
Startin′ a love affair to fill the air and people come from everywhere
To drink up your sound

You've got to know you′re the man
Go on and show 'em, Showman Dan

High in the sky there's a spot light right on ya
Shining as it follows you ′round
My, oh my, first you make them cry
Then you turn every frown upside down


Oh, daddy, what a treat, you turned a mean city scene
Into a sweet street down home groove
Feet tapping, trees clapping, branches in the breeze slapping
Backbeats deep and smooth

You′ve got to know you're the man
Go on and show ′em, Showman Dan
Swing it high, swing it low
Wherever you been, wherever you go
It's ringing true, it′s ringing through
However you do what you can do

You've got to know you′re the man
Go on, show 'em, Showman Dan

High in the sky, there's a spot light right on ya
Shining as it follows you ′round
My oh my, first you make them cry
Then you turn every frown upside down

Daddy, it′s a treat, you turned a mean city scene
Into a sweet street down home groove
Feet tapping, trees clapping, branches in the breeze slapping
Backbeats deep and smooth

You've got to know you′re the man
Go on and show 'em, Showman Dan


You′ve got to know you're the man
Go on and show ′em, Showman Dan

You've got to know you're the man
Go on and show ′em, Showman Dan
