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
In an Operetta was written by Stephin Merritt.
In an Operetta was produced by Stephin Merritt.
The Magnetic Fields released In an Operetta on Tue May 04 2004.
