In An Operetta

"Sing me the kind of song you hear

In an operetta

In an operetta



Sing me the words I long to hear

Out of Violetta

In an operetta



She will fast be outcast

From her castle, with nary a friend

But, since she's a princess,

There's hints of a prince

In the end



She'll enjoy some employ as a boy

With her name changed to Pip

Soon, by gum, she'll become

The brave captain of some

Pirate ship



Singing a thing fit for a king

In an operetta

In an operetta



It's the all-singing, all-dancing

Princess Violetta

Of the operetta

In an operetta

Within an operetta."
