Everybody's Overdoing It
And that’s why I moan in this querulous tone,
And that’s what is deep in my heart;
And if one should beseech me to offer a speech,
I’d do it, responding, in part:
And that’s what is deep in my heart;
And if one should beseech me to offer a speech,
I’d do it, responding, in part:
CHORUS.
Cut out asking for that “Magic Flute,”
And that “Tannhäuser” overture!
Cease to yell for that “William Tell,”
And “The Bride of Lammermoor!”
Stop that music-hunger all around,
Plenty is quite Enough.
Stop your praying for incessant playing,
And cut out the “Please-Sing” stuff!
And that “Tannhäuser” overture!
Cease to yell for that “William Tell,”
And “The Bride of Lammermoor!”
Stop that music-hunger all around,
Plenty is quite Enough.
Stop your praying for incessant playing,
And cut out the “Please-Sing” stuff!
