Lyrics Kristin Chenoweth – The Girl In 14G
Text:
Just moved in to 14G
So cozy, calm, and peaceful
Heaven for a mouse like me
With quiet by the lease-full
And no solicitations
Window seat with garden view
A perfect nook to read a book
I’m lost in my Jane Austen when I hear
Dramatic opera
Say it isn’t so
Not the flat below
From an opera wanna be
In 13G
A matinee of some cantata
Wagner’s Ring
And Traviata
Dramatic opera
My first night in 14G
I’ll put up with Puccini
Brew myself a cup of tea
Crochet until she’s «fini»
Half past eight
Not a peep
Except the clock tick-tockin’
Now I lay me down to sleep
A comfy bed to rest my head
A stretch, a yawn, I’m almost gone when
Scatting noisily
Now the girl upstairs
Wakes me unawares
Blowing down from 15 G
Her reveille
She’s scattin’ like her name is Ella
Guess who answers a cappella
escalating transitions between scatting and opera
I’m not one to
Raise my voice
Make a fuss
Or speak my mind
But might I query
Would you mind if
Could you kindly
STOP!
That felt good
STOP!
13, 15, 14G
A most unlikely trio
Not quite three part harmony
All day and night we’re singing
All three sing
I’ve had my fill of peace and quiet
Shout out loud I’ve changed my diet
All because of 14g
