Songs from Snippets (game)

[Rosalba]

I cite a 'bit' of a song - e.g. 'with the greatest of ease'.

The next person identifies this as coming from The Man on the Flying Trapeze (and if s/he wishes, may post a link to the song - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwvqMptS7UA)

Then s/he sets the next snippet-challenge. Don't forget!

I checked before posting. Anyone who makes a reasonable effort should succeed.

Okay - last chance. Which song does the snippet above come from? And please, if you get it, post another question.

@LKB, if nobody has guessed it by tomorrow, please post another (less challenging!) question, or I will, just to get the game off the ground.
Thank you.
