Opera Burlesque (24 Feb 1912)
Berlin Irving
Let's sing
-Let us sing, let us sing
Some Ragtime Op'ra
-Ragtime Op'ra
Let's sing
-Let us sing, let us sing
Some op'ra grand
-We understand
About a man
-Let us sing about a man
Called Ephraham
-Ephraham, Ephraham
Who heard
-Who heard
The Sextette from Lucia, so beautiful
-Beautiful!
Ev'ry night you'd see him sitting in the gallery
-At the op'ra house, quiet as a mouse
He loved to hear Caruso sing his part so tenderly
-When he struck a high one, to the sky one
Ephraham would begin to holler
-'That note alone is worth a dollar!'
Take it!
-Take it!
Make it
-Make it!
Jump to the top of the house and shake it soon
-Very soon, very soon
This op'ra darkey
-Op'ra darkey
He bought
-Yes, he bought, yes, he bought
That score, you bet!
-That sweet sextette!
He hunted then
-He went out and hunted then
For colored men
-Colored men, colored men
Who could
-Who could
Sing that sextette he heard so beautiful
-Beautiful
Soon he found some coons who understood the harmony
-And they said: 'We'll do it! Go right to it!'
So he gave them parts and said: 'The hard one is for me!'
-Then they started tuning up their voices
Ephraham at the old piano
-Struck at a chord in a fancy manner
Swaying
-Swaying
Saying
-Saying
'Start in to sing, never mind my playing,' so
-They began, they began
To sing the sextette
-Sing the sextette
And say
-Let us say, let us say

It was a bird
-When Ephr'am heard
He shouted, 'Stop!'
-But the singers wouldn't stop
They'd rather drop
-Rather drop, rather drop
Than stop
-Than stop
That Sextette from Lucia, so beautiful
-Beautiful!
Ephraham cried out, 'You all are singing out of tune!'
-But they kept on goin', blowin', showin'
How they could sing that Ragtime Op'ra
-Ephraham began to shout
'Stop!'
-'No!'
'Stop!'
-'No!'
'Stop!'
-'No!'
'Stop!'
-'Keep it up, keep it up! Hon'!'
'Where's my gun, where's my gun?'
-'We have only begun'
'Better run, better run'
-'Let us sing it for fun'
'You're off the key!'
-'Let it be, let it be'
'Try and sing it right for me
-'Let's sing that melody'
'Off the key, off the key!'
-'It's as sweet as can be, like pickin' cotton'
'Rotten!'
-'No!'
'Yes!'
-'No!'
'Yes!'
-'No!'
'Yes!'
-'No!'
'Yes, stop, I say!'
-'Let us sing, let us sing'
'I'd be willing to pay'
-'Let us sing, let us sing'
'If you stop right away'
-'Let us sing, let us sing'
'You'd better stop!'
-'Keep it up!'
'Please stop!'
-'Keep it up!'
'Please stop!'
-'Keep it up!'
'You'll stop! Don't you intend to ever stop? '
-'We don't intend to ever stop!'
'Please stop!'
-'Keep it up, keep it up, keep it up, keep it up!'
