Pay No Attention to the Man behind the Screen

Giorgio Tozzi, Chicago bass

Earned himself a special place

In the annals of his art

Singing all the greatest parts.

Equally, he took control

When he did a Broadway role.

But sometimes on the movie screen

He was heard but never seen.

If I have to be specific,

I refer to South Pacific.
