One of my favourites from Phantom of the Opera, "Prima Donna" is the bit where they're trying to keep Carlotta happy and some of the lyrics are just silly :P

A lovely tune which is great fun to play - i'm not sure i'll ever master the fast Andre/Firmin bit at the end, perhaps you can?! Enjoy!

 

[ANDRE & FIRMIN]

Prima Donna, first lady of the stage

To implore you...

Can you bow out

When they're shouting your name?

Follow ​where the ​limelight leads you

Raoul and the soubrette

With all this in a play

But if it's loudly sung

^C   Bb  A   Bb-A      G
And in a foreign tongue

A     Bb     A    Bb   A   G-A
It's just the sort of story

Audiences adore

In   fact   ​a   perfect   opera!
