[Andre and Firmin]
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 and Firmin]
Prima Donna
enchant us once again

[Andre]
Think of your muse

[Firmin]
And of the queues round the theatre!

[Andre and Firmin]
Can you deny us the triumph in store?

[Andre,Firmin,and Piangi]
Sing, Primma Donna once more!

[2nd chourus]
[Calotta]
Primma Donna
your song shall live again,
you took a snub,
but there's a public who needs you.

Think of thier cry of undying support,
follow where the limelight leads you!
Primma Donna your song shall never die,
you'll sing again,
and to unending ovation.
Think how you'll shine in that final encore.

[Andre,Firmin,Piangi]
Sing Prima Donna once more!

[Andre,Firmin]
Who'd belive a diva happy to relieve a chorus girl
who's gone and slept with the patron?
Raoul and the soubrette entwined in loves duet,
although he may deny he must have been with her.
You'd never get away with all this in a play,
but if its loudly sung and in a foreign tongue,
it's just the sort of story audiencences adore,
in fact a perfect opera,
Prima Donna the world is at your feet a nation waits and how it hates to be cheated.

[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 raport;
sing, Prima Donna once more!!!


[All]
ONCE MORE!!!!!
