The Rise And Fall Of The Great Mondello

(Eddie Nichols/Scott Steen/Bill Ungerman)

Arranged by Bill Ungerman and Scott Steen

Ladies and gents

Your attention please

Let’s look to the flying trapeze

The great Mondello will take to the sky

Watch him go — see him fly!

Now this wonder will start with some flips

While the ladies are bitin' their lips

Now the tension is high

As it gets,

That’s right folks no nets

This cat was flying through with

The greatest of ease

All of a sudden he missed the trapeze

Down and down, down and down

Kersplatty on the ground

Come and see where Mondello did land

The poor fellow is in the Lord’s hands

Oh me oh my what a shame

othing left

Just a stain

Ladies and gents your attention please

The service will be held at three

Invite the trainers, the clowns and the geeks

That’s all folks go home see you next week
