Sing me the kind of song You hear 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
