Lyrics
I?ve been to each and every nation to search for fame and great elation
The audience have given me a thrill from A to Zee
They even came to see me after the show.
I was bombarded by the ladies and I?ve done things worthy of hades
But to fulfill my life completely there is just one more thing to do
I want to sing at La Scala while I?m drinking marsala
I want to sing la la la la on the stage of La Scala
Tenor voice: Ah ah ah
My name will glow in flashing lights
You must have heard about Caruso, I?d be his greatest inspiration
I used to practise day and night until my mum would shout
(Mums voice: Shut up!!)
And chase me with her wooden spoon all over the room
With blood and tears and perspiration I kept a strong determination
And when I looked into the mirror behind the bruises was a STAR!!
I want to sing at La Scala drinking pina colada
I want to sing la la la la on the stage of La Scala
Tenor voice: Ah ah ah
Caruso never sang like this
Repeat chorus?etc
