all the rest of the verses follow that same pattern.

Well, I am an idiot walking a tightrope of fortune and fame
I am an acrobat swinging trapezes through circles of flame
If you've never stared off in the distance, then your life is a
shame
And though I'll never forget your face,
sometimes I can't remember my name

[Chorus]
         
Hey  Mrs. Pott

     
er don't cry
         
Hey  Mrs. Pott

       
er I know why 

but
      
Hey  Mrs. Pott

er won't you t
