Verse 1
(G major) (C major) Mama is a queen
and papa is a king,
So I am a (A minor) princess and I (C major) know it.
But (E minor) court etiquette,
it's a (A minor) doctorary thing,
I just (G major) hate it (E minor) all, and I show it.
To (D minor) sing on (G major) the stage,
it's the (C major) one life for me,
My (D minor) figure's just (G major) like Tetrad's (C major) singing.
I know (E minor) I'd win (A minor) fame if I (D major) sang in Bo (C major) heme
That (D major) op era by Signor Puccin (G major) i.
I drew lad (F major) s and the (G major) trills
That would send (F major) the old ch
(G major) -ch -ch -ch -ch -chills
Down (C major) the bumps (E flat major) and the (B flat major) hills
(D minor) Of (C major) my (D minor) vo (F minor) cal frill (G major) (C major) s. (G major)
I (C major) want to be a prima don (F major) na,
donna, donna
(D minor) I (G major) want to shine upon the (C major) stage
I have the (A minor) om -bom (D minor) -bom
to be (B major) come the Queen of (E minor) Song,
And my figure would (G major) look pretty as (D major) a (G major) peach.
I (C major) want to be a screechy (F major) -peachy
(D minor) -counter -creechy,
Like (E major) other fat girls that I (A minor) see.
I (F sharpdim) hate society, (C major) (A major) I hate pro (D major) priety,
(C major) What is (D minor) calling for (C major) me? (G major) (C major) (D minor) (G major)
(C major) (G major) (C major) (B major) (E minor) (A major) (D major) (C major) (G major) (C major)
I'm in the elite,
and men sigh at my feet.
Still I do not (A minor) fancy my posi (C major) tion.
I (E minor) have not much use for the
(A minor) men that I meet.
I just (G major) burn with (E minor) lyric ambition.
Those tenor (D minor) s, so (G major) sweet,
if they (C major) made love to me,
I'd (D minor) be a suc (G major) cess, that I (C major) do know.
And Melba (E minor) I'd (A minor) oust,
if I (D major) once sang in (C major) Faust,
that (D major) op era so charming by, (G major) you know.
Girls (C major) would be (F major) on the (G major) brink of hysterics,
(F major) I (C major) think. (G major)
Even (C major) Strauss (E flat major) then
would have (C major) to go (D minor) out (F minor) for a drink. (G major)
I (C major) want to be a prima (F major) donna, (D minor) donna, donna.
(G major) I want to shine on the (C major) stage.
With my avoir (A minor) de (D minor) poids and my (E minor) tralalalala,
(B major)
(E minor) I would be the (G major) chief sensation of the age.
I want (C major) to hear them shouting,
(F major) Viva! to the di (D minor) va!
Viva!
(E major) How very lovely that must (A minor) be!
(F sharpdim) That's what I'm sighing for. (C major)
(A major) That's what I'm (D minor) dying (D major) for.
(C major) Gott schreit (D minor) nach (G major) mir!
(C major) (G major) (G major) (C major)
