David Newman - Learn to Do It lyrics

(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 AND DIMITRI) We've lots and lots to teach you and the time is gonig 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! (VLADIMIR AND 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 AND DIMITRI) There's nothing to it! (VLADIMIR) Follow in my footsteps, shoe by shoe! (VLADIMIR AND 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 AND 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 AND DIMITRI) And you'll pull through it! (VLADIMIR) Tell yourself it's easy (VLADIMIR AND 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) Oh! (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 AND DIMITRI) Anya, you're a dream come true! If I can learn to do it (ANASTASIA) If I can learn to do it (VLADIMIR AND DIMITRI) You can learn to do it! (ANASTASIA) You can learn to do it (VLADIMIR AND 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 AND DIMITRI) You can learn to do it (ANASTASIA) Nothing to it! (ALL THREE) You can learn to do it too!
