Chorus
Hear dat strain
Mister Verdi come to life again
Oh that operatic sweet refrain
Sho’ would drive a crazy man insane
Just let me die and meet those brainy men
Who manufactured notes of opera grand
Oh! Verdi where, where oh art thou?
Let me shake you by the hand
Man, you know what’s grand
Good Lord, it’s over
They’re playin’ “Home Sweet Home”
Performance
