The Baddie of the Opera

V5.5

[Instrumental] [Verse 1] She leaves roses in the dressing rooms Lipstick on the glass Every tenor starts sweating When they see that ass Black mask, black gown Coming down the stair Everybody gets quiet When she enters the air She sings from the rafters She laughs from the wall Trapdoor opens Somebody falls [Pre-Chorus] She’s not hiding She’s not shy She hits one note And the angels cry [Chorus — huge bellowing opera] PHAN-TOM BADDIE! HAUNT THE HALL! PHAN-TOM BADDIE! MAKE THEM CRAWL! HIGH NOTE! LOW LIGHT! BIG DRESS! BAD NIGHT! PHAN-TOM BADDIE! RAISE THE DEAD! ONE MORE ARIA! OFF WITH HIS HEAD! [Verse 2] She writes little letters In perfume and threat “Sing it better, darling Or sing your last duet” The chandelier trembles The orchestra sweats The rich men clap And place their bets She’s under the floorboards She’s behind the red drape She’s gorgeous, she’s cursed And nobody escapes [Pre-Chorus] She’s all drama She’s all doom She’s a smoke show In a haunted room [Chorus — huge bellowing opera] PHAN-TOM BADDIE! HAUNT THE HALL! PHAN-TOM BADDIE! MAKE THEM CRAWL! HIGH NOTE! LOW LIGHT! BIG DRESS! BAD NIGHT! PHAN-TOM BADDIE! RAISE THE DEAD! ONE MORE ARIA! OFF WITH HIS HEAD! [Bridge] Down below Candles lean Velvet throne Guillotine Pretty face Wicked laugh Half a goddess Half a trap She says, “Listen closely This part is divine” Then screams so high It breaks your mind [Final Chorus — bigger, louder, ridiculous opera] PHAN-TOM BADDIE! HAUNT THE HALL! PHAN-TOM BADDIE! MAKE THEM CRAWL! BLACK MASK! RED LIPS! DEAD MEN! BAD TRIPS! PHAN-TOM BADDIE! RAISE THE DEAD! ONE MORE ARIA! OFF WITH HIS HEAD! [Outro] She leaves roses in the dressing rooms Lipstick on the glass Every tenor starts sweating When they see that ass
