La Boheme at the Met

Tune: Jule Styne's "Everything's Coming Up Roses"

La Bohème at the Met:
Songs as catchy as catchy can get.
I, of course, hum the tune.
Funny—everyone's turning up noses.

Dining out—Montrachet,
Where they serve me a piquant poulet.
I dig in—with a spoon.
Funny—everyone's turning up noses.

I shop Prada, Saks and Coco Chanel—
Yadda, yadda. Still, I'm persona non grada.

At a fête on the lawn—
There's been nothing but sunshine since dawn.
It's July, and it's warm.
There am I, true to form:
I strip down to my undies on the spot. (Well, it's hot.)
Funny—everyone's turning up noses and knocking me—
Everyone's turning up collars and cutting me—
Everyone's turning up volumes and shunning me—
Everyone's turning up noses at me—and for what?!
