The Magnetic Fields
"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 operetta
She will be 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
