In An Operetta
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
"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."
