Opera On Wheels

[Verse 1]
Grandpa packs the cooler
Mama folds the map
From Denmark to Greece again
Same old iron trap
Backseat full of grandkids
Side-eyeing the sky
'Cause grandma hit the opera
And the miles just fly

[Pre-Chorus]
It starts with a soprano
Then a ten-minute cry
Little Tommy says, "Oh, no"
Little Lucy says, "Why?"

[Chorus]
Opera on wheels
Opera on wheels
Grandma hits a high note
Grandpa grins and steers
Opera on wheels
Opera on wheels
The kids all lose their minds
By the border every year

[Verse 2]
Past the farms and ferries
Through the rain and wind
Grandma sings like royalty
Then she starts again
Tiny shoes are kicking
Noses pressed to glass
"Please play a dang cartoon song"
"Please make this thing pass"

[Pre-Chorus]
But grandma lifts her chin
And the chorus swings so wide
The grandkids clutch each other
For the hundredth winding ride

[Chorus]
Opera on wheels
Opera on wheels
Grandma hits a high note
Grandpa grins and steers
Opera on wheels
Opera on wheels
The kids all lose their minds
By the border every year

[Bridge]
At Sweden, they are pleading
At Germany, they are done
At Austria, they bargain
For one little baby song
But grandma hits that aria
Like thunder in the sky
And grandpa taps the steering wheel
As the violins go by

[Final Chorus]
Opera on wheels
Opera on wheels
Grandma hits a high note
Grandpa grins and steers
Opera on wheels
Opera on wheels
The kids all lose their minds
From Denmark down to Greece
Every year
