In An Operetta lyrics

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
