Mr. Tenor Man -

"Lou Christie" -

Year Song Released 1963

("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 and a-don't you forget

That I have got the sound that the kids love best

CHORUS:

(over "la la la" falsetto scat singing):

(I Listen to the tenor man,I listen to the tenor man

I Listen to the tenor man, ah)

They all come around and 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

---(Music Interlude)---

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 fading out)
