lyrics

Fellini, The Fabulous Flying Flea
Timmy Abell

When the circus came to town, the children would run down
To the railroad tracks and watch as the ponies pranced around
Ah...the tents and the rigging, ten thousand things to do
Clowns and tigers, cooks and fleas, getting ready for the show…

All the laughter and parties, shops and stores closed down
We loved it when the circus came to town

Ah…you should’a seen that flea, on his little antique trapeze
Graceful as a whisper in the air
You could hear the people cheer, see the ladies wipe a tear
For Fellini, The Fabulous Flying Flea

They said he was a star in the Circus of the Sun
A side show for the children, but everyone would come ….
…. And stay so long….
That the Ringmaster fired him, said he’d have to go
Refused to have a flying flea who always stole the show

But this traveling circus found him for their Big Top - center ring
The most thrilling show…. I think…. I’ve ever seen ….

Chorus

I never will forget Fellini’s daring act
I tell you it was something… the spell that flea could cast
As a hush fell upon us, the crowd would stop and stare
At that tiny silver cannon…. Was Fellini really there? Pow!
Somersaults and spins and turns… magnificent and rare….

Some called it an illusion, an imaginary flea
They said the man did slight of hand, but I still disagree

I saw that flea, Fellini, I know I did, I swear
Like a shooting star, soaring through the air
Like a shooting star, soaring through the air
