Eric Idle - Diva's Lament (Whatever Happened to my Part?) lyrics

[LADY OF THE LAKE] Whatever happened to my part? It was exciting at the start Now we're halfway through Act II 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 producers have deceived her There is nothing I can sing from my heart Whatever happened to my part? I am sick of my career Always stuck in second gear Up to here with frustration and with fears I've no Grammy, no rewards I've no Tony Awards I'm constantly replaced with Britney Spears Britney Spears Whatever happened to my show? I was a hit, now I don't know I'm with a bunch of British Knights Prancing 'round in wooly tights 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, damnit - Whatever happened to my - Not yours! Not yours! But my part!
