Please tell me you have seen
dear Mister Op'rasteen
I got a see a heem queek
Here in de paper wrote,
there is one little note
says Tetrazzini she's seek
Poor Mister Op'rasteen
he must a feel so mean,
tears from de eyes on his face
soon he'll no longer mourn,
'cause Tetrazzini's gone
I come to take her place.

I can sing just like Tetrazzin'
If you will just give me one chance
I sing Verdi, just like a birdie
I put them all in a trance,
so won't you please, Mister Hammerstein,
let me sing Puceen' for the mob,
Then I'll sing for you till next summer
for I'm after Madame Tetrazzini's job.

I can sing just like Tetrazzin'
If you will just give me one chance
I sing Verdi, just like a birdie
I put them all in a trance,
so won't you please, Mister Hammerstein,
let me sing Puceen' for the mob,
Then I'll sing for you till next summer
for I'm after Madame Tetrazzini's job.

I'll sing a Traviat
first thing right off the bat
wait till my Carmen I spring.
I bet a feetfy cents
he thinks I am immense
after Aida I sing,
I do Somnambula greeeeater than any star
almost a make you to weep.
Queek he will make de choice,
say that my granda voice
put Tetrazzini to sleep.

I can sing just like Tetrazzin'
If you will just give me one chance
I sing Verdi, just like a birdie
I put them all in a trance,
so won't you please, Mister Hammerstein,
let me sing Puceen' for the mob,
Then I'll sing for you till next summer
for I'm after Madame Tetrazzini's job.

I can sing just like Tetrazzin'
If you will just give me one chance
I sing Verdi, just like a birdie
I put them all in a trance,
so won't you please, Mister Hammerstein,
let me sing Puceen' for the mob,
Then I'll sing for you till next summer
for I'm after Madame Tetrazzini's job.
