The Rise And Fall Of The Great Mondello Lyrics - Royal Crown Revue

(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, hat'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 

Nothing 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
