JULIAN (SPOKEN):
|
Now remember,
|
No nagging, bragging, sweating, fretting, slipping, tripping,
|
Slurping, burping, twittering or frittering allowed.
|
Stay Present, stay pleasant, stay proud.
|
|
JULIAN:
|
To be a princess
|
Is to know which spoon to use
|
To be a princess
|
Is to own a thousand pairs of shoes
|
To maintain a regal gait
|
Leave the parsley on your plate
|
And be charming but detached
|
And yet amused
|
To be a princess
|
Is to never be confused
|
|
Do a plie and never fall
|
Don't ever stray from protocol
|
All through the day
|
There's just one way
|
You must behave
|
Do keep a grip and never crack
|
Stiff upper lip and arch the back
|
Bend from above
|
And always wear your gloves
|
And wave
|
|
Shoulders back and
|
Tummy in and
|
Pinky out and
|
Lift the chin and
|
Slowly turn the head from side to side
|
|
ERIKA:
|
I see now
|
JULIAN:
|
Breathing gently
|
Stepping lightly
|
Smile brightly
|
Nod politely
|
Never show a thing you feel inside
|
Glide!
|
|
To be a princess
|
Is to always look your best
|
To be a princess
|
Is to never get to rest
|
Sit for a portrait, never squirm
|
Sleep on a mattress extra firm
|
Speak and be clever
|
Never at a loss for words
|
Curtsy to every count and lord
|
Learn how to play the harpsichord
|
Sing lullabies and always harmonize in thirds
|
|
BOTH:
|
Thirds, thirds
|
|
JULIAN:
|
And
|
She has beautiful eyes
|
Your spirits rise
|
When she walks in the room
|
|
ERIKA:
|
I see
|
|
JULIAN:
|
Doors close
|
And the chemistry grows
|
She's like a rose
|
That's forever in bloom
|
|
JULIAN & (ERIKA):
|
Do a plie and don't
|
(Ever ever ever fall)
|
Never show dismay
|
(And be there when people call)
|
Be prepared whatever royal life will bring
|
Do keep a grip and don't
|
(Ever ever ever crack)
|
Take a dainty sip
|
(Never ever turn your back)
|
There's a time and place and way for everything
|
|
To be a princess
|
Is to never make your bed
|
To be a princess
|
Is to always use your head
|
