The Swan Princess
This Is My Idea
[Derek:]
I can't believe I'm stuck with her all summer
I bet she doesn't wrestle, hunt or box
[Odette:]
He looks conceited
[Derek:]
What a total bummer
[Derek and Odette:]
If I get lucky I'll get chicken pox
[Derek:]
So happy you could come
[Odette:]
So happy to be here
[Derek and Odette:]
How I'd like to run
[Odette:]
This is not my idea
[Derek:]
This isn't my idea
[Derek and Odette:]
Of fun!
[Uberta:]
The children seem to get along quite nicely
[William:]
We'll join our lands if this arrangement clicks
[Uberta:]
My dear King William, that's my point preciely
[William:]
It's such good parenting
[Uberta:]
And politics
So happy we agree
[William:]
I think we've got a deal
[Uberta:]
Derek's quite a catch
[William:]
This is my idea
[Uberta:]
This is my idea
[William and Uberta:]
Of a match!
[William:]
Good heavens, child, don't dawdle
We can't keep Derek waiting
[Odette:]
I haven't packed or washed my hair
And father, I get seasick
[Uberta:]
They soon will be arriving
Is that respect you're showing?
[Derek:]
You make me kiss her hand again
I swear I'm gonna be sick
[William:]
One day Prince Derek will be her intended
[Uberta:]
Splendid!
[Derek:]
We've tried all summer but we just can't lose her
[Odette:]
Hey, fellas, wait up!
[Bromley:]
Quick, put on some speed!
[Derek:]
When picking teams
[Bromley:]
or friends
[Derek:]
I never choose her
[Bromley:]
You think she'd take a hint and learn to read
[Odette:]
This really isn't fair
[Derek and Bromley:]
We really couldn't care
[Odette:]
Boys, it's all or none
This is not my idea
[Derek and Bromley:]
This isn't my idea
[Odette, Derek and Bromley:]
Of fun!
[Townsfolk:]
Long before they met
Derek and Odette
Were destined to be wedded
[Maids:]
However, anyone could see
[Servants:]
The only point on which they didn't disagree
[Maids:]
Was that the very thought of summertime
[Maids and Servants:]
Was dreaded
[Derek:]
She tries to talk me into playing dress-up
She's always flirting with the castle guards
[Bromley:]
I think you really sort of like her, 'fess up
[Derek:]
I'd like her better if she'd lose at cards
Four sevens and a ten
[Odette:]
I think I've won again
[Derek and Bromley:]
Every time she's won
[Odette:]
This is my idea
[Derek and Bromley:]
This isn't my idea
[Odette, Derek and Bromley:]
Of fun!
[Townsfolk:]
We need a royal wedding
I'd love to be invited
At least we'll get a holiday to rest our ploughs and axes
Someday these two will marry
Two lands will be united
And with some luck their marriage may result in lower taxes
[William:]
What if Odette doesn't go for the merger?
[Uberta:]
Urge her!
[Derek and Odette:]
For as long as I remember
We've been told we'd someday wed
Every June until September
[Derek:]
All their pushing and annoying hints
[Odette:]
I've got bruises with their fingerprints
[Derek:]
I can do much better, I am sure
[Odette:]
He's so immature
I see him smiling and my knees start buckling
I see inside him and my doubts are gone
[Derek:]
She started out as such an ugly duckling
And somehow suddenly became a swan
[Odette:]
So happy to be here
[Derek:]
Till now I never knew
[Derek and Odette:]
It is you I've been dreaming of
[Derek:]
This is my idea
[Odette:]
This is my idea
[Chorus:]
What a good idea, it's such a charming and romantic notion
[Maids:]
This is my idea
[Servants:]
This is my idea
[Maids:]
Such a good idea
[Servants:]
Such a good idea
[Maids:]
What a good idea
[Chorus:]
Such a powerful and magic notion
This is exactly my idea of love
[Odette:]
This is my idea
[Derek:]
This is my idea
[Derek and Odette:]
This is my idea of love
