Shuuuu uuuuup !!

I'm workin at the operaaaaahhhh.
It's drivin me INSANE.
Aw that screamin, warblin racket.
An' the tickets cost a packet.

Wonder why folk can sit through that
It sounds like chalky-blackboards or
the stranglin of a cat ..

Up down then up again the scales she goes.
What are they on aboot, nobody knows.
My fingers stuffed into ma ears.
Act one ending with 'Bravo' and cheers.

Gawd, there's another hour to go.
If l survive it, l'll let y'all know ..
