When the Gene Autry Rodeo rides into town, they do it with a song! Gene, Frog Millhouse (Smiley Burnette), Tadpole (Joseph Strauch, Jr.) and all the cowboys and cowgirls sing "The Man on the Flying Trapeze" in the Republic Pictures film "Under Fiesta Stars" (1941).

THE MAN ON THE FLYING TRAPEZE

HE FLOATS THROUGH THE AIR WITH THE GREATEST OF EASE
THE DARING YOUNG MAN ON THE FLYING TRAPEZE
HIS ACTIONS ARE GRACEFUL, THE GIRLS HE DOES PLEASE
MY LOVE HE HAS STOLEN AWAY

ONCE I WAS HAPPY BUT NOW I'M FORLORN
LIKE AN OLD COAT THAT IS TATTERED AND TORN
LEFT IN THIS WIDE WORLD TO WEEP AND TO MOURN
BETRAYED BY A MAID IN HER TEENS

OH, THIS MAID THAT I LOVED SHE WAS HANDSOME
AND I TRIED ALL I KNEW, HER TO PLEASE
BUT I NEVER COULD PLEASE HER ONE QUARTER SO WELL
AS THE MAN ON THE FLYING TRAPEZE

OH, HE FLOATS THROUGH THE AIR WITH THE GREATEST OF EASE
THE DARING YOUNG MAN ON THE FLYING TRAPEZE
HIS ACTIONS ARE GRACEFUL, ALL GIRLS HE DOES PLEASE
MY LOVE HE HAS STOLEN AWAY

SOME MONTHS AFTER THAT I WENT TO A BALL
AND TO MY SURPRISE I FOUND ON THE WALL
A BILL IN RED LETTERS WHICH DID MY HEART GALL
THAT SHE WAS APPEARING WITH HIM

HE'D TAUGHT HER GYMNASTICS AND DRESSED HER IN TIGHTS
TO HELP HIM TO LIVE AT HIS EASE
HE'D MADE HER ASSUME A MASCULINE NAME
AND NOW SHE GOES ON THE TRAPEZE!

OH, SHE FLOATS THROUGH THE AIR WITH THE GREATEST OF EASE
YOU'D THINK HER A MAN ON THE FLYING TRAPEZE
HER ACTIONS ARE GRACEFUL, ALL GIRLS SHE DOES PLEASE
AND THAT'S WHAT'S BECOME OF MY LOVE
