"Opera Bows" lyrics
Sparks, Adam Driver & Chorus Girls Lyrics
(from "Annette (Unlimited Edition)" soundtrack)
[Henry:]
Wish that she could be here now
But she's at the opera tonight
Opera, where everything is... Sacred
[Chorus girls:]
Amen!
[Henry:]
First she dies and dies and dies
And then she bows and bows and bows
She'll be bowing now 'til dawn
Ann, dear, I love you so
But all that bowing's gotta go
Take a last bow—enough!
Make it seem more off the cuff
[Woman in audience:]
But Henry, you didn't answer: why?
Yes why did you become a comedian?
So why did you become a comedian?
Yes why did you become a comedian?
Hey, Henry!?
[Henry:]
Why? I'll tell you why
To disarm people
Make them laugh
It's the only way I know to tell the truth
Without getting killed
OK, well that's it for tonight!
Oh no, no!
Wish that she could be here now
But she's at the opera tonight
Opera, where everything is... Sacred
[Chorus girls:]
Amen!
[Henry:]
First she dies and dies and dies
And then she bows and bows and bows
She'll be bowing now 'til dawn
Ann, dear, I love you so
But all that bowing's gotta go
Take a last bow—enough!
Make it seem more off the cuff
[Woman in audience:]
But Henry, you didn't answer: why?
Yes why did you become a comedian?
So why did you become a comedian?
Yes why did you become a comedian?
Hey, Henry!?
[Henry:]
Why? I'll tell you why
To disarm people
Make them laugh
It's the only way I know to tell the truth
Without getting killed
OK, well that's it for tonight!
Oh no, no!
