Lyrics Ray Charles – Mother, Look, I’m An Acrobat

Lucio
You must do like this-a
trick
You must do like this-a

Susan
Oh no, not-a without a mat-a.

Lucio
It’s easy you try-a
trick

Susan
Easy, my eye-a
on her fanny

Lucio
Just-a practice you must-a.

Susan
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,
