DIVA'S LAMENT (WHATEVER HAPPENED TO MY PART?)
Lady storms on stage and threatens the lighting guys into giving her a spotlight, and the orchestra into playing.
Lady of the Lake: What ever happened to my part?
It was exciting at the start.
Now we're halfway through Act 2
And I've had nothing yet to do.
I've been offstage for far too long
It's ages since I had a song.
This is one unhappy Diva
The producer's have deceived her.
There is nothing I can sing from my heart.
Whatever happened to My Part?

My love life is a mess I've got constant PMS My career is about as hot as ice They hate me there backstage They say I'm worse than Elaine Paige (US stage version: They say I'm too old for my age) They're trying to replace me with Posh Spice With Posh Spice!! (*this new version was introduced in Feb 2008 after Britney Spears's much publicised breakdown)
Whatever happened to My Show? I was a hit, now I don't know. I'm with a bunch of stupid Knights, Prancing 'round in woolly tights.

I am sick of my career Always starting second gear Up to here, with frustration and with fear. I've no Grammy, no rewards, I've no Tony Awards, I'm constantly replaced by Britney Spears. Britney Spears!

I might as well go to the Pub
They've been out searching for a shrub
Out shopping for a bush
Well they can kiss my Tush!
It seems to me they've really lost the plot
Whatever Happened to My…
I'll Call my Agent, Dammit!
Whatever Happened to My…
Not Yours! Not Yours!
By My…
(big Diva finish) Pa-art!
