(Ransford)
|
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 went
|
And 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'
|
|
The day 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
|
Put him inside
|
Now at last they are together
