[Verse 1]

I am an opera singer

I stand on painted tape

It tells me where I'm going

And where to throw my cape

I call my co-stars "brother"

I call my co-stars "knave"

I play both good and evil parts

I sing to Verdi's grave

[Verse 2]

And every single morning

By 10 AM I'm dressed

My rehearsals last for hours and hours

With diligence, I have been blessed

Some people, they call me monster

Some people, they call me saint

My talent feeds my darker side

Yet no one will complain

[Chorus 1]

I am an opera singer

I sing in foreign lands

I've sung for kings in Europe

And emperors in Japan

[Interlude]

(Ya!)

[Verse 3]

And after each performance

People stand around and wait

Just to tell me that they love my voice

Just to tell me that I'm great

I am an opera singer

I will sing when you're all dead

I sing the mountains crumbling apart

I sing what can't be said

[Chorus 2]

I am an opera singer

I sing in foreign lands

Most people seem to know my name

Or at least know who I am

[Outro]

(Hey!

Hey!

Oh

Ya!

Oh, hey!)
