:42:04
"Once I was happy
but now I'm forlorn
:42:08
"Like an old coat
that is tattered and torn
:42:12
"Left in this wide world
to weep and to mourn
:42:16
"Betrayed by a maid in her teens
:42:19
"This maid that I loved
she was handsome
:42:23
"And I tried all I knew how to please
:42:27
"But I never could please her
one-quarter so well
:42:31
"As the man on the flying trapeze
:42:35
"He flies through the air
with the greatest of ease
:42:38
"The daring young man
on the flying trapeze
:42:42
"His actions are graceful,
all the girls he does please
:42:46
"And my love he has stolen away"
:42:56
I know the second verse there.
:43:00
"Now he'd play with a miss
like a cat with a mouse
:43:04
"His eyes would undress
every girl in the house
:43:07
"Perhaps he is better described as a louse
And still people came just the same
:43:15
"Now he smiles from the bar
on the people below
:43:19
"And one night he smiled on my love
:43:23
"She blew him a kiss
:43:24
"And she hollered bravo
And he hung by his schnozzle from above
:43:30
"He floats through the air
with the greatest of ease
:43:34
"Daring young man on the flying trapeze
His actions are graceful
:43:39
"All the girls he does please
And my love he has stolen away"
:43:48
Do you mind if I take the third one?
:43:55
"I wept and I whimpered
I simpered for weeks
:43:59
"While she spent her time
with the circus' freaks
