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 & DIMITRI] We've lots and lots to teach you, and the time is going fast! [ANASTASIA, spoken] 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 & 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, we 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 & 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 [VLADIMIR, DIMITRI & ANASTASIA] And you'll pull through it! [VLADIMIR] Tell yourself it's easy [VLADIMIR, DIMITRI & ANASTASIA] And it's true... [VLADIMIR & DIMITRI] You can learn to do it [ANASTASIA] Nothing to it! [VLADIMIR, DIMITRI & ANASTASIA] You can learn to do it too!
