Art is calling for me - Kiri Te Kanawa/Stephen Barlow

Lyrics by：Dick Smith/Not Applicable

Composed by：Victor August Herbert/Not Applicable

Mama is a queen and Papa is a king

So I am a princess and I know it

But court etiquette is a dull dreary thing

I just hate it all and I show it

To sing on the stage that's the one life for me

My figure's just like Tetrazzini

I know I'd win fame if I sang in Bohéme

That opera by Signor Puccini

I've roulades and the trills

That would send the cold chills

Down the backs of all hearers of my vocal frills

I long to be a prima donna donna donna

I long to shine upon the stage

I have the embonpoint

To become a queen of song

And my figure would look pretty as a page

I want to be a screechy peachy cantatrice

Like other plump girls that I see

I hate society

I hate propriety

Art is calling for me

I'm in the elite and men sigh at my feet

Still I do not fancy my position

I have not much use for the men that I meet

I just burn with lyric ambition

Those tenors so sweet

If they made love to me

I'd be a success that I do know

And Melba I'd oust if I once sang in Faust

That opera so charming by Gounod

Girls would be on the brink

Of hysterics I think

Even strong men would have to go out for a drink

I long to be a prima donna donna donna

I long to shine upon the stage

With my avoirdupois

And my tra la la la la

I would be the chief sensation of the age

I long to hear them shouting Viva to the Diva

Oh very lovely that must be

That's what I'm sighing for

That's what I'm dying for

Art is calling for me
