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"  

 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
