[G] A man once was happy, but now he's forlorn
Like an old coat that is tattered and torn
Left in this wide world to weep and to [D] mourn
Betrayed by a [G] maid in her teens
[Em] Oh, this maid that he loved, she was handsome
And he tried all he knew [B] how to please
[Em] But he never could please her, one court her so well
[A] As the man on the [D] flying [G] trapeze
I float through the air with the greatest of ease
The daring young man on the flying trapeze
My actions are graceful, all girls I do [D] please
And his love I [G] parolineth away
[Em] I play with the mist like the cat with the mouse
My eyes would undress [B] every maid in the house
[Em] Perhaps I am better described as a louse
[A] But still people come just [D] the same
[Em] I smile from the bar on the people below
And one night I smile [B] on his love
[Em] As she blew me a kiss and she hollered,
Bravo, [A] as I hung by the bar from [D] above
[G] The air with the greatest of ease
The daring young man on the flying trapeze
My actions are graceful, all girls I [D] do please
And his love I parolineth [G] away
[Em] Some months after that, he came into a hall
To a surprise he found [B] there on the wall
[Em] A bill and red letters which did his heart gall
[A] But she was appearing [D] with me
[Em] I taught her gymnastics and dressed her in tights
To help me live [B] at my ease
I [Em] made her take on a masculine name
[A] And now she goes on the [D] trapeze
[G] I float through the air with the greatest of ease
[D] The daring young man on [G] the flying trapeze
My actions are graceful, all girls I do please
[D] And his love I [G] parolineth away
[D] And his love I parolineth away
And his love keeps [G] her loineth away
[E]
