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
