Mama is a queen and Papa is a king[00:00:06]

So I am a princess and I know it[00:00:10]

But court etiquette is a dull dreary thing[00:00:14]

I just hate it all and I show it[00:00:18]

To sing on the stage that's the one life for me[00:00:22]

My figure's just like Tetrazzini[00:00:27]

I know I'd win fame if I sang in Bohéme[00:00:32]

That opera by Signor Puccini[00:00:36]

I've roulades and the trills[00:00:40]

That would send the cold chills[00:00:44]

Down the backs of all hearers of my vocal frills[00:00:48]

I long to be a prima donna donna donna[00:01:02]

I long to shine upon the stage[00:01:06]

I have the embonpoint[00:01:09]

To become a queen of song[00:01:11]

And my figure would look pretty as a page[00:01:13]

I want to be a screechy peachy cantatrice[00:01:17]

Like other plump girls that I see[00:01:21]

I hate society[00:01:25]

I hate propriety[00:01:28]

Art is calling for me[00:01:30]

I'm in the elite and men sigh at my feet[00:01:52]

Still I do not fancy my position[00:01:56]

I have not much use for the men that I meet[00:01:59]

I quite burn with lyric ambition[00:02:03]

Those tenors so sweet[00:02:08]

If they made love to me[00:02:10]

I'd be a success that I do know[00:02:13]

And Melba I'd oust if I once sang in Faust[00:02:17]

That opera so charming by Gounod[00:02:21]

Girls would be on the brink[00:02:25]

Of hysterics I think[00:02:29]

Even strong men would have to go out for a drink[00:02:32]

I long to be a prima donna donna donna[00:02:44]

I long to shine upon the stage[00:02:48]

With my avoirdupois[00:02:51]

And my tra la la la la[00:02:54]

I would be the chief sensation of the age[00:02:55]

I long to hear them shouting Viva to the Diva[00:03:00]

Oh very lovely that must be[00:03:03]

That's what I'm sighing for[00:03:07]

That's what I'm dying for[00:03:10]

Art is calling for me[00:03:13]
