CHORUS: He'd fly through the air with the greatest of ease. A daring young man on the flying Trapeze. His movements were graceful, all girls he could please. And my love he purloined away. This young man by name was Signor Bona Slang. Tall, big, and handsome as well made as Chang. Where'er he appeared the Hall loudly rang.
