THE SWAN
From the film "Funny Girl" (1968)
(Jule Styne / Bob Merrill)
Barbra Streisand - 1968


What are ya gonna do? 
Shoot da swans? These lovelies? 
Can't you see when you look at me 
What a lovely creature is a swan - yo hoo!! 
I'm all over fluffy white. 
I wouldn't peck at you or bite 
And have tiny twinkle toes to dance upon- 
Oh was that good? 
So you just gotta have a swan 
Or you're out of luck 
`Cause a chicken wouldn't do it 
Would only cluck 
And besides you couldn't say 
"I saw a chicken leg ballet" 
They would think you don't know nothin' 
You are missing you are button 
`Cause a chicken's only good for consummate 
Where upon, where upon, 
Where upon where upon 
A chicken or a duck is a mistake 
When you do Swan Lake Ballet!
