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