[Vladimir]
You were born in a palace by the sea.
[Anastasia]
A palace by the sea?
Could it be?
[Vladimir]
Yes, that's right.
You rode horseback when you were only three.
[Anastasia]
Horseback riding? Me?
[Vladimir]
And the horse...
[Dimitri]
He was white!
[Vladimir]
You made faces and terrorized the cook!
[Dimitri]
Threw him in the brook!
[Anastasia]
Was I wild?
[Dimitri]
Wrote the book!
[Vladimir]
But you'd behave when your father gave that look!
[Dimitri]
Imagine how it was!
[Vladimir]
Your long-forgotten past!
[Vladimir & Dimitri]
We've lots and lots to teach you and the time is going fast!
[Anastasia]
All right...I'm ready!
[Vladimir]
Now, shoulders back and stand up tall
[Dimitri]
And do not walk, but try to float.
[Anastasia]
I feel a little foolish.
Am I floating?
[Vladimir]
Like a little boat!
[Dimitri]
You give a bow.
[Anastasia]
What happens now?
[Vladimir]
Your hand receives a kiss!
[Vladmiri & Dimitri]
Most of all remember this:
[Vladimir]
If I can learn to do it, you can learn to do it.
[Dimitri]
Something in you knows it --
[Vladimir & Dimitri]
There's nothing to it!
[Vladimir]
Follow in my footsteps, shoe by shoe!
[Vladimir & Dimitri]
You can learn to do it too!
[Vladimir]
Now, elbows in and sit up straight
[Dimitri]
And never slurp the stroganoff.
[Anastasia]
I never cared for stroganoff!
[Vladimir]
She said that like a Romanov!
[Dimitri]
The Samovar.
[Vladimir]
The caviar.
[Anastasia]
Dessert and then goodnight?
[Vladimir & Dimitri]
Not until you get this right!
[Vladimir]
If I can learn to do it
[Dimitri]
If he can learn to do it
[Vladimir]
You can learn to do it!
[Dimitri]
You can learn to do it
[Vladimir]
Pull yourself together
[Vladimir & Dimitri]
And you'll pull through it!
[Vladimir]
Tell yourself it's easy
[Vladimir & Dimitri]
And it's true!
You can learn to do it too!
[Vladimir]
Next, you must memorize the names of the royalty.
Now here we have Kropotkin
[Dimitri]
Shot Potemkin
[Vladimir]
In the Botkin.
[Anastasia]
h!
[Vladimir]
And dear old uncle Vanya loved his vodka
[Dimitri]
Got it Anya?
[Anastasia]
No!
[Vladimir]
The Baron Pushkin
[Anastasia]
He was...?
[Dimitri]
Short!
[Vladimir]
Count Anatoly
[Anastasia]
Had a... ?
[Dimitri]
Wart!
[Vladimir]
Count Sergei
[Dimitri]
Wore a feathered hat.
[Vladimir]
I hear he's gotten very fat.
[Anastasia]
And I recall his yellow cat!
[Vladimir]
I don't believe we told her that.
[Anastasia]
If you can learn to do it,
I can learn to do it!
[Vladimir]
Don't know how you knew it
[Anastasia]
I simply knew it!
Suddenly I feel like someone new...
[Vladimir & Dimitri]
Anya, you're a dream come true!
If I can learn to do it,
[Anastasia]
If I can learn to do it
[Vladimir & Dimitri]
You can learn to do it!
[Anastasia]
You can learn to do it.
[Vladimir & Dimitri]
Pull yourself together
[All Three]
And you'll pull through it!
[Vladimir]
Tell yourself it's easy,
[All Three]
And it's true --
[Vladimir & Dimitri]
You can learn to do it,
[Anastasia]
Nothing to it!
[All Three]
You can learn to do it too! |
