Lyrics
Chorus:
All day long she’s singing
“Tra, la, la, la! Tra, la, la, la!”
When her voice starts ringing
“Tra, la, la, la! Tra, la, la, la!”
All the neighbors get together and cry
“It’s most unbearable, terrible!
Why do they let her suffer?”
Everybody hollers “Tie a can-o to her Soprano!”
All her aunts and uncles
When they heard her, hollered “Murder!”
Every day a neighbor moves away
From her “Tra, la, la, la! Tra, la, la, la!
Tra, la, la, la, la!”
