SIGNOR BING BINGER, THE BARITONE SINGER Copyright, 1888, by J. C. Greene & Co. 
I sing of a feminine gender, Delicate, gentle and kind, Innocent, sweet and tender, And vowing one day she'd be mine. For operas this girl was crazy, And opera singers as well, But when I said: Be mine! she replied: "I decline!" And the reason I'm going to tell. 
CHORUS. She said, at the Chinese theatre There was the man of her choice, Signor Bing Binger, the baritone singer, With such a magnificent voice. I tried with my voice to enchant her, I sang her my tra la, la, la. But she said: Your no singer, Go hear my Bing Binger sing tra la, la, la, la, la, la. 
Said I, now my darling Ti-ti-ti, For that was the dear creature's name; My heart is as dry as old tinder, Don't add to the fuel with flame. I'll take lessons of Campanini, I'll strike the high "0 "like a bell-That was all of no use, she gave me the deuce, And she stuck to her baritone swell.-Chorus. 
I imported an upright piano, And also a teacher that sings; He taught me sweet "Eileen Alanna," And a new song he called "White Wings." He taught me "Sweet Violets " and chestnuts, And "When the Swallows Homeward Fly," And "Sadly I roam "and "Home Sweet Home," And "We Never Speak As We Pass By. " -Chorus.
