In an Operetta - The Magnetic Fields

作词：Stephin Merritt

作曲：Stephin Merritt

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 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
