They Don't Let You In The Opera (If You're A Country Star) - Kelli O'Hara[00:00:00]

Now I was born down in Georgia[00:00:12]

But Georgia wasn't good enough for me[00:00:16]

I'd sing country songs for them but[00:00:20]

My heart sang La Bohème and it[00:00:22]

Didn't help we moved to Tennessee[00:00:25]

Nashville's not the place you sing[00:00:29]

High C[00:00:30]

If you wanna sing at all you[00:00:32]

Best sing country so I picked up[00:00:34]

How to do it pretty fast[00:00:37]

Be a country star or go in a[00:00:40]

Sticks them hicks don't know[00:00:43]

Verdi's Rigoletto from their alps[00:00:44]

So a country star's how I came to pass[00:00:48]

But I'll sing opera one day[00:00:52]

It's like opry with an a I told[00:00:54]

My agent in his fancy car[00:00:57]

And it pained him I could tell[00:01:00]

When he said no chance in hell[00:01:02]

They don't let you in the opera[00:01:04]

If you're a country star[00:01:06]

Is it the way I say oblighetto[00:01:09]

So I took that country singing[00:01:12]

Job and shoved it and I headed to[00:01:14]

The Met at NYC I know that stage[00:01:17]

Is hard to reach but Domingo likes a peach[00:01:21]

You should hear that tenor voice sing[00:01:24]

Rockabilly now I'm trying out for[00:01:26]

The Barber of Sevilly when a voice[00:01:29]

Booms from a house from those[00:01:33]

Tassels on your blouse I can tell[00:01:34]

You've got a twang and play guitar[00:01:37]

Aha I bet they loved you in the south[00:01:39]

But please don't open your mouth[00:01:42]

We can't let you in the opera if you're a[00:01:44]

Country star 'cause no patron trusts[00:01:47]

An opera in the hands of a country star[00:01:49]

Do you think I can't wail just 'cause[00:01:53]

I got long pink fingernails I had to play[00:01:55]

More country songs just to stay[00:01:58]

Afloat though I ain't as moral I'm in[00:01:59]

A southern pigeon hole I sing like[00:02:03]

Mary Callas but no one's heard a note[00:02:05]

Till I charmed an old blowhard who[00:02:08]

Owns half of Julliard said my singing[00:02:10]

Was so beautiful he cried[00:02:13]

And I felt my[00:02:16]

Heartbeat hop then I heard his heartbeat[00:02:17]

Stop he said[00:02:19]

Welcome to the Opera[00:02:21]

And then the basterd died[00:02:22]

Well time went by I gave up on the opera[00:02:30]

Grabbed a man got ready for a kid[00:02:35]

Though La Scala never called my ears still get[00:02:40]

Enthralled when I hear a great soprano[00:02:43]

Blow her lid so head up to the opera house[00:02:46]

I did[00:02:52]

But as bravados start to shake I feel[00:02:55]

My water break I'd never even make it[00:02:59]

Down the aisle[00:03:04]

If you'd have been there[00:03:05]

You'd have seen in that second mezzanine[00:03:07]

First a head then two feet from my 90 dollar seat[00:03:10]

As I lifted up my gown to the Dr Toravelle[00:03:14]

It hurts like[00:03:22]

Oh my God[00:03:24]

Oh my God[00:03:29]

Oh my God[00:03:29]

Does that squish the baby[00:03:30]

How can it breathe[00:03:34]

Contraction[00:03:39]

Contraction[00:03:40]

Oh[00:03:41]

Contraction[00:03:43]

Contraction[00:03:43]

Oh[00:03:44]

My God I paid so much for Dr Chung[00:03:46]

And now this[00:03:48]

Ow you son of a bicth[00:03:59]

No thank you I mean it[00:04:02]

Oh you[00:04:03]

Oh[00:04:05]

Contraction[00:04:08]

Contraction[00:04:09]

Oh[00:04:09]

Yes I feel that[00:04:11]

Oh[00:04:12]

I'm pushing oh[00:04:19]

I'm pushing oh[00:04:23]

Oh my God oh my God[00:04:26]

It's like pushing a watermelon[00:04:31]

Through a hole the size of a lemon[00:04:35]

Aha aha aha[00:04:43]

What[00:04:47]

Well it better be a boy[00:04:48]

Oh oh oh[00:04:50]

Oh oh oh[00:04:54]

I'm so sorry about your dress[00:05:00]

Oh[00:05:02]

Well now to my surprise those[00:05:11]

Patrons had tears in their eyes[00:05:15]

The New York Times Review even[00:05:17]

Raved I was all that[00:05:19]

Found a headline[00:05:21]

Bazaar opera gives birth to a new star[00:05:23]

When she was done[00:05:25]

What fun and a newborn[00:05:26]

In her lap[00:05:27]

Then the head of the trustees board said[00:05:28]

Before you cut the cord here's[00:05:31]

A agent contract and some caviar[00:05:33]

You'll start right away my dear[00:05:37]

We have daycare please sign here[00:05:39]

Been my dream since I sang country now[00:05:41]

I'm an opera star[00:05:44]

But you were the best part of the opera[00:05:48]

By far[00:05:52]

Now a crib ain't where you're[00:05:55]

Needing pearls of wisdom but listen up[00:05:57]

Before you've cried a word[00:06:02]

When you hear[00:06:06]

No don't get upset it means yes but just not[00:06:06]

Yet fight the most when folks say you're[00:06:10]

Absurd in the end I believe we all get heard[00:06:14]

But if I may suggest one rule before[00:06:24]

I'm no longer cool what you do ain't[00:06:27]

Always who you are[00:06:31]

So if you find your[00:06:33]

Heart is set on both Memphis and the Met[00:06:34]

And they force you to choose don't run[00:06:37]

Off and sing the blues bet your ass[00:06:40]

You can sing opera if you're a country[00:06:42]

That's a C star hey[00:06:51]
