Lou Christie Mr Tenor Man Lyrics

Mr Tenor Man lyrics

La la la" falsetto scat singing)

They talk about the bass man, he had success
Oh what they say about him, I couldn't care less
But I'm a tenor man & a-don't you forget
That I have got the sound that the kids love best

CHORUS:
(over "la la la" falsetto scat singing):
(Listen to the tenor man, listen to the tenor man
Listen to the tenor man, ah)

They all come around & we hit the town
They never start screamin' till they hear this sound
Now I don't care about a "boom boom boom"
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/l/lou-christie-lyrics/mr-tenor-man-lyrics.html ]
They don't start to swoon till they hear me croon

(chorus)

They talk about tenors day & night
Don't care if the sound is wrong or right
All I have to do is open my mouth
Everybody wants to jump & shout

(instrumental)

Now, Mr. Bass Man, before you go
Let me hear you "boom boom" just once more
(low, trilling "boom boom" scat singing)
(spoken): Together now!

(repeat chorus & fade
