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 these muddled up fleas
Unaware that he'd hurt her so badly
She cried in the arms of his manager friend
And declared that she loved the clown madly

One day Fifi wept and this drove the clown wild
Poor little flea started crying
Never you mind his manager said
I ought not to tell that she's dying

Dying for love of you little flea
You've broken her heart with your lying
She couldn't stand to see you throw
Her love away without trying

The day Fifi died the little clown vowed
He turned 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 lost his Fifi forever
So they opened her grave, put him inside
Now at last they are together
