Note: Best imagined as your five favorite Phantoms (plus the Indian -- excuse me, Native American... or is it American Indian... I hate this PC stuff!) dressed in 70s style variations of their costumes.
Young man if you have harmony
I said young man if you love Rossini
I said young man 'cuz you're in gay Paree
There's no need to be unhappy
Young man there's a place you can go
where they sing scales: mi fa so la ti do
You can live there in a house by a lake
Mask and cape are all that it takes
It's fun to stay at the Op'ra Garnier
It's fun to stay at the Op'ra Garnier
A shiny chandelier and five cellars below
A good box for watching the show
It's fun to stay at the Op'ra Garnier
It's fun to stay at the Op'ra Garnier
You can extort the boss
You can teach ingenues
You can do whatever you choose
For years all the Earth did I roam
and found no place in this world to call home
I said who cares about all of mankind
I felt the whole world was so jive
That's when a guy came up to me
And said "Young man, you can call me Charlie.
I've been asked to build a new op'ra house
where the Emperor can watch Faust"
It's fun to stay at the Op'ra Garnier
It's fun to stay at the Op'ra Garnier
A shiny chandelier and five cellars below
A good box for watching the show
It's fun to stay at the Op'ra Garnier
It's fun to stay at the Op'ra Garnier
You can extort the boss
You can teach ingenues
You can do whatever you choose
Young man do you hear what I say?
I said young man terrorize for your pay
And then kick back, write an op'ra or sing
But you've got to know this one thing
Young man this is very old news
Ev'ry artist needs himself a good muse
You just have to find a hot little Swede
And you'll have ev'rything you need
It's fun to stay at the Op'ra Garnier
It's fun to stay at the Op'ra Garnier
A shiny chandelier and five cellars below
A good box for watching the show
Op'ra Garnier It's fun to stay at the Op'ra Garnier
Young man young man if you have harmony
Young man young man if you love Rossini
Op'ra Garnier You'll find it at the Op'ra Garnier
Young man young man find a hot little Swede
Young man young man you'll have all that you need
Op'ra Garnier
