Both the pets and the wild beasts of prey
Have human taste, smell and other senses,
While humans have to prance and dance attendance,
They are fated to act in that way.

Today spectators, today spectators
Do not want to see the charmers and the tamers!
And if you want to tame a pet, or beast,
You have to join the criminal police.

Very few decent humans today
Have human taste, smell and other senses,
While beasts and animals must dance attendance,
They are fated to act in that way.

Today spectators, today spectators
Do not want to see the charmers and the tamers!
And if you want to tame a pet, or beast,
Go join the circus - you will be pleased.
