Fifi the flea fell in love |
|
With a clown from a flea circus fair |
|
She gave him her heart |
|
But he still couldn't see |
|
That for such a long time she had cared |
|
He put himself 'round all the other girl fleas |
|
Unaware that he hurt her so badly |
|
She cried in the arms of his manager friend |
|
And declared that she loved the clown madly |
|
One day Fifi left |
|
This drove the clown wild |
|
The poor little flea started crying |
|
Never you mind his manager said |
|
I ought not to tell but she's dyin' |
|
Dyin' for love of you little flea |
|
You've broken her heart with your lyin' |
|
She couldn't stand to see you throw |
|
Her love away without tryin' |
|
When Fifi died the little clown vowed |
|
He'd tend her grave every hour |
|
He broke down and cried |
|
When he saw her grave |
|
And on it he placed a small flower |
|
Poor little flea he wasted away |
|
He'd lost his Fifi forever |
|
So they opened her grave |
|
And put him inside |
|
Now at last they are together |
