My Oddest Trait ( to the tune of "My Strongest Suit" from "Aida")
Sung by Madame Giry:
In opera
One has to face many things
Like auditions and arias
Carlotta and fires
and learning all of your dance steps
there's make up, costume, and perverted stagehands
and of course the new managers
why does everyone not believe in the opera ghost
it's my accent I hate the most…
My hair is always perfect
But Joseph Buquet is so perverted
I might quit and start with a clean slate
But I have to always serve him
Ow, I poked myself with a pin,
My accent has always been,
My oddest trait!
It's so fake, and yet so real
It really is a big deal
I think I'll think I'll talk about this with Nadir…
And Meg needs to stop
Going gaa-gaa over the fop
The carriage is something he needs to learn how to steer!
So I think I'll end this number
The managers keep getting dumber
But like the Terminator, "I'll be back…"
I need to rest
So I can witness the phantom's arrest
Gosh, he has a sexy mask!
