| A picket fence, I leaped it
|
| Through your screen door, I gotta meet you
|
| High C up and High C down
|
| Since you left the opera you just frown a lot
|
| and mumble, «I'm humble.»
|
| Press clippings hang from torn wallpaper
|
| A dust covered phone, no one would ring her
|
| High C up and High C down
|
| Since you left the opera you just frown a lot
|
| and you tell me
|
| Tell me of the times when you were so big
|
| in Vienna
|
| And the people paid good money just to hear
|
| you in your splendour
|
| But that’s all over now
|
| That’s all over now
|
| Limited tastes, I wish I could help you
|
| A rock-headed lad, I have got to help you
|
| High C up and High C down
|
| Since you left the opera you just frown a lot
|
| and mumble, «I'm humble.»
|
| Come on home with me and will sing our little hearts out
|
| We will hit High C or maybe somewhere thereabouts
|
| Somewhere thereabouts |
