The Man on the Flying Trapeze

"The Man on the Flying Trapeze" is a song from the Mickey's Fun Songs video Let's Go to the Circus!. Originally published in 1867, the song was further popularized by the 1935 film The Man on the Flying Trapeze starring W.C. Handy.
It is also performed by Miss Piggy in episode 410 of The Muppet Show as Kermit attempts a trapeze act. Unfortunately, Beauregard pushes him too hard, and Kermit ends up spraining his webbed foot.
==Lyrics==
What's that in the sky near the top of the tent?
The lights have gone dim, it's a major event
The ringmaster shouts, he is proud to present
The men on the flying trapeze!
A spotlight goes 'round and a drum starts to roll
You can feel your heart quicken its beat
And just when it seems that you've lost all control
You look up from the edge of your seat...
They fly through the air with the greatest of ease
The daring young men on the flying trapeze
They gracefully float as if part of the breeze
It's quite a spectacular sight!
A single, a double, a three-quarter twist
Their effortless gliding is not to be missed!
You need sturdy legs and a flexible wrist
To soar on the flying trapeze!
