2021 Broadway DIANA the Musical - The Worst Job in England Lyrics
Performed by Judy Kaye (Queen Elizabeth), Roe Hartrampf (Prince Charles).
CAST: The headline of 1980:
QUEEN ELIZABETH: "Playboy Prince Needs a Lady"
CAST: His mother grew quite upset
QUEEN ELIZABETH: For he hadn't found her yet It was fine when you were new But, good God, you're 32 - what's a monarch to do?
(spoken) There must be someone appropriate, Charles
CHARLES: (spoken) You'd be surprised how few, Mummy
CAST: Ladies here are royal kitsch Step right up and strike it rich! By the way, there's just one hitch: It's the worst job The worst job in England!
QUEEN ELIZABETH: (spoken) We are in crisis! Our popularity is declining, the public trusts us less and less...
CHARLES: (spoken) And you're saying that's my fault?
QUEEN ELIZABETH: (spoken) I'm saying your philandering isn't helping matters
(sung) You're the heir to the British crown You were bred to settle down Our future queen should have no past Find her, Charles, and find her fast!
CAST: The boy just can't decide
CHARLES: I swear to God, I've tried
QUEEN ELIZABETH: This is matricide!
CHARLES: (spoken) Well, there is one possibility:
CAST: Daughter of a British earl...
CHARLES: (spoken) The youngest Spencer daughter, Lady Diana
CAST: Lovely as an English pearl...
QUEEN ELIZABETH: Seemingly, the perfect girl
CAST: For the worst job The worst job in England!
QUEEN ELIZABETH: (spoken) But didn't you used to court her sister?
CHARLES: (spoken) Sarah, yes, until she started mouthing off to the press about our relationship
QUEEN ELIZABETH: (spoken) That was stupid of her
CHARLES: (spoken) But Diana's different. She's... very shy, and I'm certain she'll be discreet. But I'm not certain this is what she wants
QUEEN ELIZABETH: How could she not? She'll be Britain's heart!
CAST: Though time to time, she'll be torn apart...
QUEEN ELIZABETH: She'll have a staff all her own
CAST: And not another moment alone!
QUEEN ELIZABETH: She'll be celebrated, our country's pride
CAST: And spend her life objectified
QUEEN ELIZABETH: She'll have a place in our history books
CAST: And forever, she'll be judged by her looks!
QUEEN ELIZABETH: Britain won't be mollified
CAST: Till we have a princess bride
QUEEN ELIZABETH: A country unified!
CHARLES: A girl like her is hard to find
QUEEN ELIZABETH: A princess we could get behind
CAST: Then again, keep in mind: It's the worst job, the worst job...
CHARLES: A royal couple casts a spell
QUEEN ELIZABETH: A royal wedding serves us well
CAST: A fairy tale born in hell!
QUEEN ELIZABETH: She's the best girl
CAST: The best girl For the worst job, the worst job It's the worst job The worst job in England!
