Learn To Do It

[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 and dimitri]
We've lots and lots to teach you and the time is going fast!

[anastasia]
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 and 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 and dimitri]
There's nothing to it!

[vladimir]
Follow in my footsteps
Shoe by shoe!

[vladimir and 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 and 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 and dimitri]
And you'll pull through it!

[vladimir]
Tell yourself it's easy

[vladimir and dimitri]
And it's true!
You can learn to do it too!

[vladimir]
Next, you must 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 and dimitri]
Anya, you're a dream come true!
If i can learn to do it

[anastasia]
If i can learn to do it

[vladimir and dimitri]
You can learn to do it!

[anastasia]
You can learn to do it

[vladimir and dimitri]
Pull yourself together

[all three]
And you'll pull through it!

[vladimir]
Tell yourself it's easy

[all three]
And it's true

[vladimir and dimitri]
You can learn to do it

[anastasia]
Nothing to it!

[all three]
You can learn to do it too!
