Fifi The Flea

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
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm.

The day Fifi left this drove the clown wild
Poor little flea started crying
‘Never you mind', his manager said
‘I have nothing to tell but she's dying
Dying for love of you little flea
You've broken her heart with your lying
She couldn't bear to see you throw
Her love away without trying'
Mmm mmm mmmm mmmm mm.

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's wasted away
He'd lost his Fifi forever
So they opened her grave, put him inside
Now at last they are together
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm.
