Nunge talk about a Tetrazzini,
Nunge talk about de great Carus'
Take two voice you bet a,
for to sing a one duet a,
but a not when I cut loose.
When I sing a Verdi or Puccini,
all de dago fall right on de floor,
bet de bunch banana I'm a lady
I'm a mana when I sing Il Travatore.

Sing Trovatore
I forget my spaghet
when I hear a dat duet,
just one encore,
for it seem like a dream
of a peaches and a cream,
close all de door,
when de voice just a drop
like a baritona wop,
"Lenora, ma Lenora, Fare thee,
Ah! Ah!
I'll not forget thee,
Ah! Ah!
I'll not forget."
When you sing dat thing
Il Trovatore.

Melba say: "Go work a in de laundry!"
Tetrazzini think she got my goat.
Lina Cavallieri say:
"Go on back to de dairy,
you got Mary Jane's top note."
Hammerstein he bring Gatti Cazaza.
When I sing Lucia di Lammermoor,
sound a very swell a,
but they say: "Oh what the hell a
want to hear Il Travatore!"

Sing Trovatore
I forget my spaghet
when I hear a dat duet,
just one encore,
for it seem like a dream
of a peaches and a cream,
close all de door,
when de voice just a drop
like a baritona wop,
"Lenora, ma Lenora, Fare thee,
Ah! Ah!
I'll not forget thee,
Ah! Ah!
I'll not forget."
When you sing dat thing
Il Trovatore.
