Among the animals backstage
At safe distance from the cage
Two workers looked upon the beast
This will be tough to say the least
Louis the tamer
Remarkable man indeed
With just one movement, a look or elusive sound
He gets them right where he wants
It can't be done, he'll need a year
There's not a chance he'll tame that bear
You know that thing is pretty mean
It was the biggest thing they'd seen
Louis the tamer
He's such a peculiar man
There is a saying
That he can tame anything
Even your unwilling wife
Looking like us
But moving like them
They listen, they nod
They understand
If you come close
You'll see it clear
He listens, they speak
He's one of them
Lions, whales
Foolish snails
Beavers, guppies
Stupid puppies
He tames them all
A truly gifted man
From out of nowhere he appeared
A big white smile, a brown thick beard
He said: "One minute, not a year, you humans just don't see
Things clear"
Louis released him
That drooling and growling bear
With just one gesture
He got him to calm his mind
They walked away hand in hand
Looking like us
But moving like them
They listen, they nod
They understand
If you come close
You'll see it clear
He listens, they speak
He's one of them
Cats and dogs
Nasty frogs
Rats, albinos
Filthy rhinos
He tames them all
A truly gifted man
Louis the tamer
Remarkable man indeed
With just one movement, a look or elusive sound
He gets them right where he wants
Looking like us
But moving like them
They listen, they nod
They understand
If you come close
You'll see it clear
He listens, they speak
A truly gifted man
