The Day the Bearded Lady Died
"The big top will be closed today," said the Ringmaster So that we can recover from our recent disaster The people asked what happened, and the Ringmaster sadly replied, "I'm afraid the Bearded Lady has died" Oh how I cried The day the Bearded Lady died How I loved her so She was practicing her tight rope act When the line just went and snapped She was scared as she fell down She bounced out of the net, but didn't hit the ground Instead she flew over where the clowns were standing They watched her land in the giant cannon, She shot out of there with a horrible bang And pulled off a three and a half twist through the hoop of flame The strong man said he should have caught her But she landed safely in a glass of water She got out of the glass and looked around, But she didn't see the three-ton-man sitting down She couldn't move, she was frozen with fear It gave new meaning to "the end is near" Then that 6,000 pounds of fat Squashed the Bearded Lady flat The funeral procession crawled into town I rode in the car with 46 sad clowns The elephants cried, so did the apes And the rubber man got all bent out of shape We all thought of how we'd miss her And her smile behind those whiskers It was no one's fault, there's no one to blame, But the circus will never be the same © André Villoch
