Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

The real version is from the Opera Carmen by Bizet. This small portion was sung by the Three Stooges and that's all the lyrics they created for laughs of course. I love that!

    Actually it goes like this,

    Please don't expectorate upon the floor
    Use the cuspidor,
    That's what it's for.

    I have the tune in my head, but I can't tell you what it is.

    well the part you're thinking of is from the simpsons

    (The Simpsons go to the opera.)
    Bart: Hey, Lis, keep an eye out for the guy with the peanuts.
    Marge: There's no guy with peanuts, dear.
    Homer: Geez. No beer. No opera dogs.
    Marge: Shh!
    (The orchestra plays, "March of the Toreadors.")
    Bart: (Singing) Toreador, oh, don't spit on the floor. Please use the cuspidor. That's what it's for.
    (Bart and Homer laugh.)
    Marge: Bart, stop fooling around. Homer, stop encouraging him.
    Homer: Don't stifle the boy, Marge. We're supposed to encourage him.
    Marge: Shush!

    but the actual song has these lyrics
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toreador_So…

    and at the bottom of this page under "media" you can find a sample of one version of the song - many people have recorded it.
