The Girl In 14-G
by Kristin Chenoweth

Album: Let Yourself Go

Just moved in to 14G
So cozy, calm, and peaceful
Heaven for a mouse like me
With quiet by the lease-full
Pets are banned parties too
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 Socantota
Wagner's Ring
And Traviata

Dramatic opera

My first night in 14G
I'll put up with Pouccini
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
Laughs
Wakes me unawares
Blowing down from 15G
Her revelly
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
No 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'v changed my diet!"
All because of
14G
