Ray Charles
Mother, Look, I’m An Acrobat
[Verse]
You must do like this-a [trick]
You must do like this-a [trick]
Oh no, not-a without a mat-a
It's easy you try-a [trick]
Easy, my eye-a [on her fanny]
Just-a practice you must-a
I will till i bust-a
Mother, look, i'm an acrobat
Baby's jumped in the ring
Once i sat as a back-row bat
Now i nip up and spring
Hear your daughter yell, "allez-up!"
With the strong man i'll play
Watch them lift this tamale up
And we'll rally up all the crowd there
I have never groused about
Showing my from in tights
Or watching a clown or roustabout
In fight-
Join the circus and see the world
Monkey and tiger pup
Now my circus will be the world
I'm an acrobat "allez-up!"
