In an operetta

Sing me the kind of song
You hear 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
You hear 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
