《They Don’t Let You In The Opera (If You’re A Country Star)》歌词

[00:00:00] They Don't Let You In The Opera (If You're A Country Star) - Kelli O'Hara

[00:00:12] Now I was born down in Georgia

[00:00:16] But Georgia wasn't good enough for me

[00:00:20] I'd sing country songs for them but

[00:00:22] My heart sang La Bohème and it

[00:00:25] Didn't help we moved to Tennessee

[00:00:29] Nashville's not the place you sing

[00:00:30] High C

[00:00:32] If you wanna sing at all you

[00:00:34] Best sing country so I picked up

[00:00:37] How to do it pretty fast

[00:00:40] Be a country star or go in a

[00:00:43] Sticks them hicks don't know

[00:00:44] Verdi's Rigoletto from their alps

[00:00:48] So a country star's how I came to pass

[00:00:52] But I'll sing opera one day

[00:00:54] It's like opry with an a I told

[00:00:57] My agent in his fancy car

[00:01:00] And it pained him I could tell

[00:01:02] When he said no chance in hell

[00:01:04] They don't let you in the opera

[00:01:06] If you're a country star

[00:01:09] Is it the way I say oblighetto

[00:01:12] So I took that country singing

[00:01:14] Job and shoved it and I headed to

[00:01:17] The Met at NYC I know that stage

[00:01:21] Is hard to reach but Domingo likes a peach

[00:01:24] You should hear that tenor voice sing

[00:01:26] Rockabilly now I'm trying out for

[00:01:29] The Barber of Sevilly when a voice

[00:01:33] Booms from a house from those

[00:01:34] Tassels on your blouse I can tell

[00:01:37] You've got a twang and play guitar

[00:01:39] Aha I bet they loved you in the south

[00:01:42] But please don't open your mouth

[00:01:44] We can't let you in the opera if you're a

[00:01:47] Country star 'cause no patron trusts

[00:01:49] An opera in the hands of a country star

[00:01:53] Do you think I can't wail just 'cause

[00:01:55] I got long pink fingernails I had to play

[00:01:58] More country songs just to stay

[00:01:59] Afloat though I ain't as moral I'm in

[00:02:03] A southern pigeon hole I sing like

[00:02:05] Mary Callas but no one's heard a note

[00:02:08] Till I charmed an old blowhard who

[00:02:10] Owns half of Julliard said my singing

[00:02:13] Was so beautiful he cried

[00:02:16] And I felt my

[00:02:17] Heartbeat hop then I heard his heartbeat

[00:02:19] Stop he said

[00:02:21] Welcome to the Opera

[00:02:22] And then the basterd died

[00:02:30] Well time went by I gave up on the opera

[00:02:35] Grabbed a man got ready for a kid

[00:02:40] Though La Scala never called my ears still get

[00:02:43] Enthralled when I hear a great soprano

[00:02:46] Blow her lid so head up to the opera house

[00:02:52] I did

[00:02:55] But as bravados start to shake I feel

[00:02:59] My water break I'd never even make it

[00:03:04] Down the aisle

[00:03:05] If you'd have been there

[00:03:07] You'd have seen in that second mezzanine

[00:03:10] First a head then two feet from my 90 dollar seat

[00:03:14] As I lifted up my gown to the Dr Toravelle

[00:03:22] It hurts like

[00:03:24] Oh my God

[00:03:29] Oh my God

[00:03:29] Oh my God

[00:03:30] Does that squish the baby

[00:03:34] How can it breathe

[00:03:39] Contraction

[00:03:40] Contraction

[00:03:41] Oh

[00:03:43] Contraction

[00:03:43] Contraction

[00:03:44] Oh

[00:03:46] My God I paid so much for Dr Chung

[00:03:48] And now this

[00:03:59] Ow you son of a bicth

[00:04:02] No thank you I mean it

[00:04:03] Oh you

[00:04:05] Oh

[00:04:08] Contraction

[00:04:09] Contraction

[00:04:09] Oh

[00:04:11] Yes I feel that

[00:04:12] Oh

[00:04:19] I'm pushing oh

[00:04:23] I'm pushing oh

[00:04:26] Oh my God oh my God

[00:04:31] It's like pushing a watermelon

[00:04:35] Through a hole the size of a lemon

[00:04:43] Aha aha aha

[00:04:47] What

[00:04:48] Well it better be a boy

[00:04:50] Oh oh oh

[00:04:54] Oh oh oh

[00:05:00] I'm so sorry about your dress

[00:05:02] Oh

[00:05:11] Well now to my surprise those

[00:05:15] Patrons had tears in their eyes

[00:05:17] The New York Times Review even

[00:05:19] Raved I was all that

[00:05:21] Found a headline

[00:05:23] Bazaar opera gives birth to a new star

[00:05:25] When she was done

[00:05:26] What fun and a newborn

[00:05:27] In her lap

[00:05:28] Then the head of the trustees board said

[00:05:31] Before you cut the cord here's

[00:05:33] A agent contract and some caviar

[00:05:37] You'll start right away my dear

[00:05:39] We have daycare please sign here

[00:05:41] Been my dream since I sang country now

[00:05:44] I'm an opera star

[00:05:48] But you were the best part of the opera

[00:05:52] By far

[00:05:55] Now a crib ain't where you're

[00:05:57] Needing pearls of wisdom but listen up

[00:06:02] Before you've cried a word

[00:06:06] When you hear

[00:06:06] No don't get upset it means yes but just not

[00:06:10] Yet fight the most when folks say you're

[00:06:14] Absurd in the end I believe we all get heard

[00:06:24] But if I may suggest one rule before

[00:06:27] I'm no longer cool what you do ain't

[00:06:31] Always who you are

[00:06:33] So if you find your

[00:06:34] Heart is set on both Memphis and the Met

[00:06:37] And they force you to choose don't run

[00:06:40] Off and sing the blues bet your ass

[00:06:42] You can sing opera if you're a country

[00:06:51] That's a C star hey
