It's The Opera Life ( to the tune of "It's The Hard Knock Life" from "Annie")
I'd like to give a shout out to Glitter Queen of the Ice Show: Thanks for the song suggestion!
Sung by Meg, Christine, and the Chorus Girls:
All:
It's the Opera Life
For us…
It's the Opera Life
For us!
Meg:
Instead of solos…
Others:
We get songs!
Meg:
Instead of panties…
Others:
We wear thongs!
It's the Opera Life!
Christine:
Don't it feel like the phantom's always watching?
Meg:
Don't it Carlotta hogging the spotlight?
Christine:
Don't it seem that we're always hearing…
Meg:
The Music of the Night!
Christine:
Don't it seem like our corsets are too tight?
Don't it seem like Joseph Buquet is a perv?
Meg:
Don't it seem like my tutu is white?
Man, I hate the theme song for Smurfs…
All:
Back up singer life…
Fear of Punjab life…
Dealing with Carlotta strife…
Avoidance of Box Number 5…
Meg:
The vicompte we always see…
Christine:
The vicompte is engaged, to me!
Meg:
Instead of patrons…
Chorus girls:
We get bums!
Meg:
Instead of singing
Chorus girls:
Madame Giry hums!
All:
It's the Opera Life!
Christine ( imitating Carlotta):
You're-a gonna wax this-a floor…
Till it-a shines like the scalp-a of Piangi!
Others:
Drive her from the Opera house!
Make her wear an ugly blouse!
Call her names like "whore" and "smelly"!
We love you, Miss Guidicelli!
All:
It's the Opera Life
For us!
It's the Opera Life
For us!
Meg:
Instead of solos…
Others:
We get songs!
Meg:
Instead of panties…
Others:
We wear thongs!
All:
It's the opera life…
It's the opera life…
IT'S THE OPERA LIFE!
