Learn to Do It - John Bolton/Derek Klena/Christy Altomare

How do you become the person you've forgotten you ever were

Take a deep breath

Close your eyes

And imagine another time another world

You were born in a palace by the sea

A palace by the sea

Could it be

Yes it's so

You rode horseback when you were only three

Horseback riding me

Horse's name

Romeo

You threw tantrums and terrorized the cook

Ha how the palace shook

Charming child

Wrote the book

But you'd behave when you 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

Let's see you walk head up regal bearing

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 sinking 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 do not 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

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

Who is your great-grandmother

Queen Victoria

Great-great grandmother

Uh

Princess Victoria of Saxe-Colburg-Saalfeld

Your best friend is

My little brother Alexei

Wrong your best friend

I know who my best friend is

What a temper

I don't like being contradicted

That makes two of us

Continuing on

I've had it and I hate you both

I'm sorry that we ever met

I'm hungry I'm frightened

And I'm only human don't forget

I don't remember anything

Get out and let me be

Anya darling look at me

We're all frightened

Well slightly now and then

Shall we start again

Take a breath count to ten

You have courage

And strength you barely know

So blow that little nose

And dry those pretty eyes

A princess like your majesty

Can do this if she tries

Ready

Set

Go

Now here's your great aunt Olga

How she frolicked on the Volga

Oh

Your distant cousin Vanya loved his vodka

Got it Anya

No

The Duke of oldenburgh was short

Louise of Boden

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

He can learn to do it

Pull yourself together

And we'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

The caviar the stroganoff

The Samovar the feathered hat the cousin drank

The duke was short here a wart and there a cat

The horse's name was Romeo so tell me something new

Ha ha

You can learn to do it too
