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"  

 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
