Prima Donna by Phantom Of The Opera
Andr� and Firmin-
Prima donna,
first lady of the stage!
Your devotees
are on their knees
to implore you!
Andr�-
Can you bow out
when they're shouting
your name?
Firmin-
Think of how they all adore you.
Andr� and Firmin-
Prima donna,
enchant us once again
Andr�-
Think of your muse...
Firmin-
And of the queues
round the theatre!
Andr� and Firmin-
Can you deny us the triumph in store?
Andre and Firmin-
Sing, prima donna,
once more!

|Raoul-
|Christine spoke of an angel...
|
|Carlotta-
|Prima donna,
your song shall live again!
|Andr� and Firmin-
|Think of your public!
|
|Carlotta-
|You took a snub,
|but there's a public
|who needs you!
|
|Giry-
|She has heard the voice
|of the angel of music...
|
|Andr� and Firmin-
|Those who hear your voice
|liken you to an angel!
|Carlotta-
|Think of their cry
|of undying
|support!
|
|Raoul-
|Is this her angel of music...?
|
|Andr�-
|We get our opera...
|Firmin-
|She gets her limelight!
|
|Carlotta-
|Follow where the limelight
|leads you!
|
|Meg-
|Is this ghost
|an angel or a madman...?
|
|Raoul-
|Angel or madmadman...?
|
|Andr� and Firmin-
|Leading ladies are a trial!
|
|Carlotta-
|Prima donna,
|your song shall never die!
|
|Meg-
|Voice of hell, or of heaven...?
|
|Giry
|Heaven help you,|those who doubt...
|
|Carlotta
|You'll sing again,
|and to unending
|ovation!
|
|Raoul
|Orders! Warnings!
|Lunatic demands!
|
|Giry
|This miscasting
|Will invite damnation...
|
|Andr� and Firmin
|Tears... oaths...
|lunatic demands
|are regular occurences!
|
|Meg
|Bliss or damnation?
|Which has claimed her...?
|Carlotta-
|Think how you'll shine
|in that final
|encore!
|Sing, prima donna,
|once more!
|
|Giry-
|Oh fools,
|to have flouted his warnings!
|
|Raoul-
