posing mime
open all the fake doors and lean on all the pretend walls
posing mime
put on all your makeup and entertain guys and gals
posing mime
makin' funny gestures and makin' all the people cheer
posing mime
there's no reason to cry but it's traditional to paint a tear

chorus
I know that I can climb up that rope
I know that I can climb up that rope
I know that I can climb up that rope
climb that rope

posing mime
time for you to get out of that god forsaken cardboard box
posing mime
spent five whole years in mime school and your posing around the clock
gather up your face-paints
move 'em from the basement
put them on your face
posing mime
if you tend to screw up you will be a big mime disgrace

chorus

posing mime
you will not get paid much but the feeling is good enough

chorus x 2

posing mime
spent five whole years in mime school and your posing around the clock
