Prima Donna
First lady
Of the stage
Your devotees are
On their knees
To implore you!
Can you bow out,
When they're,
Shouting your name?
Think of how
They all
Adore you!
Prima Donna
Enchant us
Once again
Think of your muse
And of the queues
Round the theatre
Can you deny us,
The triumph,
In store?
Sing, Prima Donna
Once more!
Prima Donna
Your song
Shall live, again
Think of your public!
But there's a
Public who needs
You!
Angel of music
Think of their cry
Of undying
Support!
Follow where the
Limelight
Leads you!
Prima Donna
Your song
Shall never die!
You'll sing, again
And to unending
Ovation!
Think how you'll
Shine in that
Final encore
Sing
Prima Donna
Once more!
These
Demands are
Rejected!
Who'd believe
A diva
Happy to relieve
A chorus girl
Who's gone and,
Slept with,
The patron?
Raoul and the
Soubrette entwined
In love's duet!
Although he may
Demur he must
Have been
With her!
You'd never get away
With all this
In a play
But if it's
Loudly sung
And in a foreign
Tongue
It's just the
Sort of story
Audiences adore
In fact
A perfect opera!
Prima Donna
The world is
At your feet
A nation waits
And how it hates
To be cheated!
Light up the stage
With that age-old
Rapport!
Sing
Prima Donna
Once more!
Once more... !
