I want an Opera Phantom for Christmas
Only an Opera Phantom will do
Don't want a doll, no dinky Tinker Toy
I want an Opera Phantom to play with and enjoy
I want a Opera Phantom for Christmas
I don't think Santa Claus will mind, do you?
He won't have to use our dirty chimney flue
Just bring him through the shadows,
that's the easy thing to do
I can see me now on Christmas morning,
creeping down the stairs
Oh what joy and what surprise
when I open up my eyes
to see my Opera Ghost hiding there
I want an Opera Phantom for Christmas
Only an Opera Phantom will do
No Dracula's, no Fopish Vicompte's
I only like Opera Phantoms
And Opera Phantoms like me too
Mom says the O.G. would eat me up, but then
Teacher says O.G. is a vegeterian
There's lots of room for him in our Fifth-level cellar.
I'd feed him there and wash him there and give him his massage
I can see me now on Christmas morning,
creeping down the stairs
Oh what joy and what surprise
when I open up my eyes
to see an Opera Ghost hiding there
I want an Opera Phantom for Christmas
Only an Opera Phantom will do
No Dracula's, no Fopish Vicompte's
I only like Opera Phantoms
And Opera Phantoms like me too
