Musicals – The Phantom Of Opera - Prima Donna lyrics
Andre
Your public needs you
Firmin
We need you too
Carlotta
Wouldn't you rather have your precious little ingenue?
Andre & Firmin
Signora no! The World wants you
Prima Donna first lady of the stage
Your devotees are on their knees to implore you
Andre
Can you bow out when they're shouting your name?
Firmin
Think of how they all adore you
Andre & Firmin
Prima donna enchant us once again
Andre
Think of your muse
Firmin
And all your queues 'round the theatre!
Andre & Firmin
Can you deny us the triumph in store?
Andre, Firmin & Piangi
Sing Prima Donna once more
Raoul
Christine spoke of an angel
Charlotta
Prima Donna your song shall live again
Andre & Firmin
Think of your public
Carlotta
You took a snub but there's a public who needs you
Madame Giry
She has heard the voice of the Angel of Music
Andre & Firmin
Those who hear you liken you to an angel
Carlotta
Think of the cry of undying support
Andre
We get her Opera
Firmin
She gets her limelight
Carlotta
Follow where the lime light leads you
Andre & Firmin
Leading ladies are a trial
Carlotta
Prima Donna your song shall never die
You'll sing again and to unending ovation
Raoul
Order, warnings lunatic!
Andre & Firmin
This misacating will invite damnation
Lunatic demands are regular occurences
Carlotta
Think how you'll sing in that final encore
Andre & Firmin
Sing Prima Donna once more
Raoul
I must see these demands are rejected
Andre & Firmin
Who'd believe a diva happy to relieve
A chorus girl whose 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!
Carlotta
Fortunata!
Non ancor abbandonata!
Andre & Firmin
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!
Meg & Christine
For if his curse is on this Opera
All
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!
Phantom
So, it is to be war between us. If these demands are not met, a disaster beyond imagination will occur!
All
Once more!
Your public needs you
Firmin
We need you too
Carlotta
Wouldn't you rather have your precious little ingenue?
Andre & Firmin
Signora no! The World wants you
Prima Donna first lady of the stage
Your devotees are on their knees to implore you
Andre
Can you bow out when they're shouting your name?
Firmin
Think of how they all adore you
Andre & Firmin
Prima donna enchant us once again
