In an Operetta

Sing me the kind of song you hear in an operetta

In an operetta

Sing me the words I long to hear out of Violetta

In an operettaShe 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 shipSinging 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
