A remaster of my earlier remix of Dion’s 1963 hit, used as an excuse for a slide-show of the wonderful Donna Reed, who certainly wasn’t a Prima Donna, “Woah yeah!”
Donna the Prima Donna
Donna, Donna the Prima Donna
Broke my heart
We’re apart
Thinks she’s smart
I met a girl a month ago
I thought that she would love me so
But in time I realized
She had a pair of roving eyes
I remember the nights we dated
Always acting sophisticated
Talking about high society
Then she tried to make a fool out of me
They call her Donna, Donna the Prima Donna
Broke my heart now
Thinks she’s smart now
We’re apart now
Pretty little girl you’re just having fun
You’re running all around and breaking lover’s hearts
Pretty little girl, I don’t stand a chance
Without any money there goes our romance
She always wears charms, diamonds, pearls galore
She buys them at the 5 & 10 cents store
She wants to be just like Zsa Zsa Gabor
Even though she’s the girl next door
They call her Donna, Donna the Prima Donna
Broke my heart
Thinks she’s smart
We’re apart
Pretty little girl you’re just having fun
You’re running all around, you’re breaking lover’s hearts
Pretty little girl, I don’t stand a chance
Without any money there goes our romance
She always wears charms, diamonds, pearls galore
She buys them at the 5 & 10 cents store
She wants to be just like Zsa Zsa Gabor
Even though she’s Donna next door
Donna, Donna the Prima Donna…
