[Verse] You must do like this-a [trick] You must do like this-a [trick] Oh no, not-a without a mat-a It's easy you try-a [trick] Easy, my eye-a [on her fanny] Just-a practice you must-a I will till i bust-a Mother, look, i'm an acrobat Baby's jumped in the ring Once i sat as a back-row bat Now i nip up and spring Hear your daughter yell, "allez-up!"
With the strong man i'll play Watch them lift this tamale up And we'll rally up all the crowd there I have never groused about Showing my from in tights Or watching a clown or roustabout In fight- Join the circus and see the world Monkey and tiger pup Now my circus will be the world I'm an acrobat "allez-up!"
