Charles Gounod, Georges Bizet, Giacomo Puccini, Ruggero Leoncavallo, Deems Taylor, Louis Gruenberg, Howard Hanson, Modest Mussorgsky, Various Artists, Gioachino Rossini, Giuseppe Verdi, Lawrence Tibbett, Rosario Bourdon & Metropolitan Opera Orchestra), tratta dall'album Lawrence Tibbett Lebendige Vergangenheit
Once, long ago, a king kept such a fine fat flea
Ha, a flea! Ha, a flea!
And cherished him as dearly as though a son were he
A flea!
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, a flea!
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, a flea!
He sent for his own tailor
Who came to court in haste
"Now cut my flea a doublet
And clothe him with good taste
With very good taste"
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, a flea!
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, a flea!
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
A flea of taste
A fleecе dress in velvet
And silks of golden hue
A ribbon on his shouldеr
A jewel on a tooth
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, a flea!
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
A flea!
A minister they made him
A diamond star he wore
And all his holy nations got orders galore
Ha, ha
The courtiers, male and female
They were no longer gay
The queen and all her ladies
Were pestered night and day
Ha, ha
To scratch they were forbidden
They had to bear the prick
But we, when we are bitten
Know how to scratch and kick!
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
Ha!
