Текст песни The Daring Young Man - George Formby

I've got a story, a story that's true
I'm telling you right now
The tale of a gymnast upon a trapeze
With muscular arms, legs and beautiful knees

Without a fault he'd somersault, turn over complete
He was such a daring young man
You couldn't place which was his face or which was his seat
He was such a daring young man

Then his fellow partner he would catch in mid-air
He'd pretend to miss him but he'd grab him somewhere
But just exactly where he grabbed him, he didn't care
'Cause he was such a daring young man

The lights went low as too and fro he gracefully slipped
He was such a daring young man
To change his clothes from head to toes, in darkness he stripped
He was such a daring young man

He took off his coat and trousers during the flight
Then when he'd finished changing up went the lights
But by mistake he'd only got one leg in his tights
'Cause he was such a daring young man, he was such a daring young man

A lady fair shot through the air towards his trapeze
Now he was such a daring young man
He caught her wrist then gave a twist, pulled her on his knees
He was such a daring young man

He caught that flying lady with such judgement and tacked
But she'd a jealous husband and the theatre in fact
Was not the only place that she'd been caught in the act
Ee but he was such a daring young man
