Opera

Opera, seedy Opera, tell me Opera this Opera?
Peel me Opera, sing me Opera, can me Opera, won't you please?
And when the Opera seeks to Opera, can it Opera in disbelief?
Or will it Opera dirty Opera, making Opera out of my grief?

Sing OPERA!
Sing OPERA!
I beseech upon you Opera,
Sing OPERA!
Sing OPERA!
Opera my words to you.

O Opera, fair Opera, can't you try to Opera for me?
O Opera, decrepit Opera, shan't you grind Opera in your teeth?
Tell me Opera, sweet old Opera, sing for Opera that Opera still,
Feeding Opera to rabid Opera, sitting Opera my windowsill.

Sing OPERA!
Sing OPERA!
Catch it Opera your open wound,
Sing OPERA!
Sing OPERA!
Let it Opera, o fragile Opera.
