The Flea Circus

You've heard the story of the big bad wolf But I bet you haven't heard about these Did you know that wolf was just a location? For a village of performing fleas I'm sure, you've heard of a flea circus Well, this is where it all began And anytime that old wolf would scratch Those fleas were practicing again Some would walk the high wire And they did it without a net To fall off the wolf's back from that high up Was as dangerous as it could get There was nothing quite like the flea clowns With their funny little flea clown noses The strong man flea was as strong as can be Especially when he'd strike his poses Then they also had the bearded lady flea And the flea that ran the kissing booth They paid their money just to give her a kiss Of course, she only had one tooth Fleas would come from miles around And that wolf would throw a fit He'd scratch all day till his hair fell out Trying to get those fleas to quit They had fleas on the flying trapeze And even a flea to train the lion That flea scared the flea kids to death So they'd all break down and start cryin' So, the next time you see a wolf scratch Then you see it's almost time That's when you know the circus is in town So buy a ticket and stand in line
