They stepped into the spotlight,
Uncle Bouki and the horse.
The audience gasped as they lept through fire,
Blindfolds over their heads, of course.
A little boy laughed, a little girl cried,
The audience rose to its feet.
One at the head and the other the tail
And the pantomime was complete.

Uncle Bouki and the horse.
No-one knew the horse was dead, of course.
Uncle Bouki and the horse -
Two men inside a talented hide.

Uncle Bouki's making money.
