HOLLIES - Fifi The Flea lyrics

rate me

(ransford)

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
