A tenor with post-nasal phlegm
Still sings with the crème de la crème;
His crack E.N.T.
Gives him back his high C
Whenever he sings in Bohème.
Another version
The tenor who sang in Bohème
Was having a problem with phlegm,
But he coughed with Mimì
Before his high C
And the critics declared it a gem.
Yes another version
When Mario sang in Bohème
His high note was clear as a gem.
His secret, you see,
Was to cough with Mimì
To loosen his seasonal phlegm.
