lyrics
My great-grandmother on my father's side
Made him promise on the day she died
To teach his daughter to be dignified
& sing lalalala
So daddy played the impresario
I learned to trill, roulade & parlando
I studied every single libretto
& sang lalalala
But somewhere rang the twang of an old guitar
As a trio ran through their repertoire
I heard the zing of a violin
They stole my heart with that Hot Club swing
Well sorry Daddy, I don't give a hoot
I gave Bizet and Berlioz the boot
I've even thrown away my magic flute
no more lalalala
This prima donna's gonna take a bow
A curtain call for all the sacred cows
'Cause jazz manouche is the cat's meow
no more lalalala
'Cause somewhere rang the twang of an old guitar
As a trio ran through their repertoire
Just hear the zing of the violin
They'll steal your heart with that Hot Club swing
Ch:
If you could hear, dear great-grandma
Our combo run through our repertoire
And sing to the zing of the violin
We'd steal your heart with our Hot Club swing
