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
