[Intro] G G/F# G/F G/F# 2x [Verse 1]
G        G/F# G/F     C           G            G/F#        G/F  C
Fifi the flea fell in love with a clown from a flea circus fair

    G            G/F#         G/F            C
She gave him her heart but he still couldn't see

         G           G/F#         G/F   C
That for such a long time she had cared

   G           G/F#           G/F        C
He put himself around all the other girl fleas

   G            G/F#        G/F   C
Unaware that he hurt her so badly

    G            G/F#        G/F     C
She cried in the arms of his manager friend

      G               G/F#            G/F   C
And declared that she loved the clown madly
[Interlude] G G/F# G/F G/F# 2x [Verse 2]
    G        G/F#          G/F             C
One day Fifi went and this drove the clown wild

    G           G/F#         G/F    C
The poor little flea started crying

G         G/F#     G/F     C
Never you mind his manager said

  G            G/F#           G/F   C
I ought not to tell but she's dying

G         G/F#    G/F        C
Dying for love of you little flea
G G/F# G/F C/E (probably a mistake - E bass note instead of C) You've broken her heart with your lying
G            G/F#     G/F     C         G     G/F#        G/F    C
She couldn't stand to see you throw her love away without trying
[Interlude] G G/F# G/F G/F# 2x [Verse 3]
    G        G/F#     G/F          C
The day Fifi died the little clown vowed

G             G/F#        G/F  C
He'd tend her grave every hour

   G              G/F#       G/F        C
He broke down and cried when he saw her grave

    G        G/F#           G/F    C
And on it he placed a small flower

G           G/F#    G/F     C
Poor little flea he wasted away

G             G/F#    G/F  C
He'd lost his Fifi forever

        G          G/F#   G/F       C
So they opened her grave, put him inside

G           G/F#       G
Now at last they are together
