[MF]  Here’s Hircus of the circus, my friend.

The biggest man who ever came ‘round the bend.

Yes, Hircus of the circus is tall,

But unfortunately his voice

[JB]  Is very small!

[MF]  Oh, Hircus of the circus is great,

For he can lift the heaviest, biggest weight.

But Hircus of the circus feels meek,

And that’s because his voice

[JB]  Is just a squeak!

[MF]  He’s big and strong and powerful,

And yet he’s very shy,

And often gets to feeling low,

Because his voice

[JB]  Is high!

[MF]  Oh, Hircus of the circus has fame,

‘Cause far and wide, the people all know his name.

But though this great big giant can lift a house,

When Hircus talks, he sounds

[JB]  Just like a mouse!
