Aria ( to the tune of "Cabaret" from "Cabaret")
Sung by Meg:
Welcome to the opera
The opera populaire
Where phantoms lurk and patrons have long hair
Life is an aria, old chum
Life is an aria!
We here love the performing arts
Except when Carlotta's singing starts
Life is an aria, old chum
Life is an Aria!
I used to have a friend named Christine
She was in a word sublime.
She liked to drink Coke with lemon
While I liked it with lime
She went with the phantom to the cellar
"I love you" is what he tried to tell her
I guess you could say her hair got thicker
But not from too much song and liquor
She was happy while in a trance
But she decided Raoul looked better in tight pants!
So, now then down to the cellar
With a bunch of cops and a bank teller
And there I found a porcelain mask
Why it's there I began to ask
Well, maybe some things in history
Should remain a mystery
Life is an aria, old chum
LIFE IS AN A…RI…AAAAAAAHHHHH!
( gasps for air)
Man, I don't know how Christine and Carlotta can hit all those high notes. Maybe it's life the how-many-licks-does-it-take-to-get-to-the-tootsie-roll-center-of-a-tootsie-pop question, the world may never know…
