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
