The Lyrics

Parodied version at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1oJuwkXr0E
[Unison]
Oh-oh, yes we're the great three tenors
Three men singing fine - truly well
You need a tux to attend our stuff
Wine's o-kay, but no muscatel

Oh-oh, yes we're the great three tenors
A gift for the World Cup in Rome
They play the games, we acquire real fame
Prove skeptics are weak, callous gnomes

[Solo]
Some feel I'm too squeamish to take the lead
Unreal is my squeal when my part's upper C

[Unison]
(Oh-Oh...)
Yes, we're the great three tenors
Pagliacci, a play with a clown
Wife seems to be on a slutting spree
She's swearing. Her heart stops to pound
Sad ending, there's few still around

[Solo]
I scream to extreme when I wail a breve
Esteem is supreme for the sharps I achieve

[Unison]
(Oh-Oh...)
Yes, we're the great three tenors
Just baskin' in fame and renown
Two stars sing high with the other guy
We're sharing our parts like a round
Transcendingly pure, silky sound
(Silky sound)
