give it to you in one lump sum you'll have enough of the trip by plane and a tidy little amount left Mr. Randall this this is all happening so quickly now take it easy take it easy then this is my last day with the circus yes Johnny it's best that way tonight you do your final performance and go on to a better life you'll see you'll be happy Johnny tonight at midnight you take that plane for

the finest I've ever seen you turn in say you were great Johnny and did you hear that applause Johnny the audience simply went wild that's nice of you to say that well it's true everybody was talking about your act I was saving the best for the last maybe I did try a little harder tonight even Lulu was more lively than you by the way Johnny what did you do with that duck are yours gave her to hooligan bumps he always liked her so and he'll be good sure he will why Johnny Bradley you big baby you're crying no I'm I'm all now buck up Johnny I know it's tough leaving all the folks and things

airplane I wish I could go up in one I am leaving in grand style and it's awfully nice of you to come out here with me and see me off it just couldn't be any other way I'll never forget you folks and your kindness to her we won't be forgetting Johnny Bradley either I'll say we won't when we get on the train tonight we'll miss you and tomorrow when we set up in our next stand it'll it'll seem funny

saw the plane here it comes now it's off the ground look Jerry Johnny's opening his window what's he got in his hand he's brought something out look at it's a little parachute and it's got something hanging on to it that's what Johnny met when he told you to watch his window Jerry it's something for you I'm going to run out and get it wait it's good land right over there it's a little box Jerry I'm going to get it isn't that just like Johnny yeah well what is it Jerry I don't know what does it look like you made a little parachute out of a handkerchief and here's a box tied to it well what's it say there on that little card to see for Jerry so you'll always remember Johnny Bradley isn't that nice see we'd best be getting back we've got to catch our train come on well aren't you going to
