Lyle: The Flying Trapeze

Actually his name was Jules Léotard, the 19th-century flying trapeze performer who invented the garment now known as a “leotard”. This song was written about him.

He'd fly through the air with the greatest of ease,
That daring young man on the flying trapeze,
His movements were graceful, all girls he could please,
And my love he purloined away!
