Oh my Papa

Oh, I could tell you so much about my Papa
He was a well-known circus clown."
 
Papa bounced up the rope like an arrow
Eh la hopp, eh la hopp, eh la hopp
Alley-oop, alley-oop!
Splayed his legs so wide
Jumped into the air and stood on his hands
Alley-oop, alley-oop!
 
He laughed ha - ha, ha - ha
And said ha - ha, ha - ha
Gently ha - ha, ha - ha
And called: alley-oop, alley-oop
Alley-oop, alley-oop, alley-oop
Alley-oop, alley-oop
 
He rode the ropes and shouted to me:
Alley-oop, alley-oop, alley-oop
He could do this twelve times without any effort
Meanwhile he laughed and he was never afraid
Alley-oop, alley-oop, alley-oop
Alley-oop, alley-oop, alley-oop
Alley-oop, alley-oop
 
Oh, my Papa was a wonderful clown
Oh, my Papa was a great artist
High on the rope, he was a pleasure to look at
Oh, my Papa was a handsome man
 
Oh, how he laughs, his mouth broad and red
And his eyes glowing like diamonds
Oh, my Papa was a wonderful clown
Oh my Papa was a handsome man
A handsome man
A handsome man

Besseres Englisch als Deutsch!
Ich hätte zwar den Papa als Daddy genommen, aber das ist Geschmackssache.

Nur zwei kleine Anmerkungen:
Das konnte er machen zwölfmal ohne Mieh'
He could do this twelve times without a mistake
He could do this twelve times without any effort

Ei wie er lacht, sein Mund sie sein so breit und rot
Oh, how he laughs, he mouth broad and red
Oh, how he laughs, his mouth broad and red
