Although I've been chided for my negative remarks in regard to Disney, I will not apologize for my childish name-calling. I will concede, however, that Disney provides a plethora of recognizable songs that are just dying for a phantomish twist!
Thank you for your positive reviews, I swear they were all three times as funny as my songfic, y'all are great! MagickAlianne, thanks for the advice about doing one from Carlotta's point of view, but cough Disney has poisoned your mind cough mumble mumble...
I don't know if I'll be doing any other songfics for a while, so enjoy this one!
I Won't Say I'm Washed Up (Carlotta's POV, from Hercules "I won't say I'm in Love")
Carlotta:
I know I'm beautiful and talented
I guess we've already covered that
But no contract's worth the aggravation
I've walked out before, we've been there, done that!
Backstage Voices:
Who'd'ya think you're kiddin'
Her voice's the Earth and heaven
Try to keep it hidden
Honey, they can see right through you
Girl, ya know you can't deny it
We know that you're done for and
Who their prima donna is…
Carlotta:
No chance, no way
I won't say it, no, no
Backstage Voices:
You're shrill, you're bad
why deny it, uh-oh
Carlotta:
It's not too late
I won't say I'm washed up
I thought the death threats were just miss-addressed
Who would dare ever hate me?
But my brain is tellin me to steer clear,
Unless you wanna to get crushed under, a flat!
Oh
Backstage Voices:
You cow, you keep on lying
You'll never match his protege
Baby, we're not buying
we saw ya hit the parfaits
Face it like a grown-up
When ya gonna own up?
All you are is really bad!
Carlotta:
No chance, no way
I won't say it, no, no
Backstage Voices:
Feel the fear, he's here
Check the mirror you're washed up
Carlotta:
It's not like I'm from the Ballet,
I won't say I'm washed up
Backstage Voices:
Your voice, it skips, read our lips
You're washed up!
Carlotta:
My fans lave me,
I won't say it
Just wait, you'll see
I won't say it!
Backstage Voices:
Girl, don't be proud
Just face it, you're washed up
Carlotta:
Oh
At least out loud,
I won't say I'mCroak!
