To Be A Princess (Part Ii) Testo

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 gaite
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 plié 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 plié 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
