Opera
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.
Who will give a dolla'
For a really lucky fella
Who gets kissed under umbrella?
And who´s got time for fatsos
Who´s a-singing 'bout pajazzos
-Oh, is that art. Oh, is that so?
Maybe what dies aint supposed to live
Maybe you've given
What you had to give to me
Why You're acting so unnaturally,
Is that your only way to be?
Now is it really fun to say
"Lets do it in a modern way"
When the longeurs is the stinkin' same?
It's such a massive overload
You don't have to be wise and old
To see this boat is sinkin, ey?
Maybe what dies aint supposed to live
Maybe you've given
What you had to give to me
Why You're acting so unnaturally,
Is that your only way to be?
Houp, houp, houp-la! Op-op-op-op-opera!
Now look out on the streets
There is energy and heat and
Some friends i'd like you all to meet
It's a crowd that longs for shows
Overacting, overdoze, Extra-fancy-ganza!
So, maybe you still got some time to live
Maybe you still have got something to give to me
-But i tell You to impress me
You must improve your fantasy
Houp, houp, houp-la! Op-op-op-op-opera!
Houp, houp, houp-la! Op-op-op-op-opera!
