They talk about the bass man, he had success Oh what they say about him, I couldn't care less But I'm a tenor man and a-don't you forget That I have got the sound that the kids love best (Listen to the tenor man, listen to the tenor man Listen to the tenor man, ah) They all come around and we hit the town They never start screamin' till they hear this sound Now I don't care about a "boom boom boom" They don't start to swoon till they hear me croon They talk about tenors day and night Don't care if the sound is wrong or right All I have to do is open my mouth Everybody wants to jump and shout Now, Mr. Bass Man, before you go Let me hear you "boom boom" just once more Together now!
