Lyrics to Opera Rap

Well, I like Rossini and I like Puccini

And I like to listen while I'm eatin' linguini

I like opera, man, and it's flippin' my switch

Make my thumbs itch

Make my bum twitch

I like William Tell and Don Giovanni

I think opera plots are really funny

I think opera rules cause it makes me giggle

My tonsils jiggle

Chin hairs wiggle

I found a stack of old opera records called LPs

They don't look nothing like my CDs

I try to stick'em in my Sony but they won't go

Gotta get a turntable for my stereo

I like listening to opera on Radio Three

Every afternoon while I'm sipping my tea

Tell that little man to come and sing it for me

Il mio tesoro intanto

Sing it Tonto! If you want to

I like to see this one soprano with a heaving chest

Tight little dress, hair a mess

She's squealing something in Italian, anybody's guess

Follie, follie!

I'm so weird, I'm so weird, I'm so weird, I'm so...

I'm so weird, I'm so weird, I'm so weird, I'm so...

Now there's Pavarotti and Carreras and Domingo

Are they tryin' to be another John, Paul, George and Ringo?

When they're singing out at Wembley I get wobbly knees

Women toss their knickers at'em when they sing high C's.

Ridi, Pagliacco, sul tuo amore infranto...

Well, Carmen's she's a fox but then there's Aida

She's 16 tons! What the heck they feed her?

Old Radames had better be a wealthy dude

The way she's gobblin' up a mess of fine Italian food

Am I telling all my friends about my high-brow habits?

When you find a piece a heaven, well you‘d better grab it!

I got another dirty secret I hold onto tight

I like watching Leslie Garrett on the box at night

I'm so weird, I'm so weird, I'm so weird, I'm so...

I'm so weird, I'm so weird, I'm so weird, I'm so...

I'm so weird, I'm so weird, I'm so weird, I'm so...
