There's a bear at the Met gift shop
Who is very inspirational.
He is very inspirational
Because of many things!
I come just before the curtain,
And he smiles and says, “How are you?”
When he smiles and says “How are you?”
I could swear my pants take wings!
So tonight at intermission
I decided I should meet him.
I decided I should meet him
In a proper way, right now!
So tonight at intermission
When he smiled and said, “How are you?”
I said, “Fine, and my name's Oleg.”
And he softly answered, “Ciao.”
And I said, “My name is Oleg,
I'm looking for the right Boheme....”
And he said his name was Pager,
Which provides the inspiration for this po-em:
Pager the opera bear,
Sling CDs and tchatchkes rare!
Oh Pager the opera bear,
io t'amo, io t'amo, io t'amo....
So I'd like to get my nerve up
To recite my poem musical
He would like the fact it's musical
Because he sings around.
So tonight at intermission,
Pager told me he was singing
With a church-hall opera company
In a space with crappy sound
And he smoothly took my ticket
for the parking lot, to stamp it,
But for me he comped the ticket,
and he didn't think I knew!
But I saw him comp the ticket,
and for me that saved a bundle,
And I knew that parking ticket
Meant that Pager loved me too!
I said, “Where is this church hall?
And thank you for the extra time!”
And he said, “Christ and St. Stephen's,
'round the corner” (but I just #%^$^$'d up this rhyme).
Pager the opera bear,
Sling CDs and tchatchkes rare!
Oh Pager the opera bear,
io t'amo, io t'amo, io t'amo....
I used to be the kind of cub
who'd run when love came calling.
But finally a voice whispered "Love can be yours,
If you go to the shop and quit stalling!”
Pager the opera bear,
Sling CDs and tchatchkes rare!
Oh Pager the opera bear,
io t'amo, io t'amo, io t'amo....
So many years with no alma del core,
Who knew at the Met was my own ursine amore?
Pager the opera bear,
Io t'amo, io t'amo, io t'amo!
Ich lieb' dich, je t'aime, io t'amo!
