Songtext zu 'Learn To do It' von Anastasia Broadway

[Anya]
How do you become the person you've forgotten you ever were?

[Vladimir]
Take a deep breath. Close your eyes, and imagine another time, another world

You were born in a palace by the sea

[Dmitry]
A palace by the sea

[Anya]
Could it be?

[Vladimir]
Yes, it's so
You rode horseback when you were only three

[Anya]
Horseback riding? Me?

[Dmitry]
Horse's name?

[Vladimir]
Romeo
You threw tantrums and terrorized the cook!
Ha! How the palace shook!

[Dmitry]
Charming child

[Vladimir]
Wrote the book
But you'd behave when you father gave that look

[Dmitry]
Imagine how it was
Your long forgotten past

[Vladimir & Dmitry]
We've lots and lots to teach you and the time is going fast

[Vladimir]
Let's see you walk. Head up! Regal bearing!

(sung)
Now, shoulders back and stand up tall
And do not walk, but try to float

[Anya]
I feel a little foolish
Am I floating?

[Dmitry]
Like a little boat!

[Vladimir]
You give a bow

[Anya]
What happens now?

[Vladimir]
Your hand receives a kiss!

[Vladimir & Dmitry]
Most of all remember this:

[Vladimir]
If I can learn to do it
You can learn to do it

[Dmitry]
Something in you knows it

[Vladimir & Dmitry]
There's nothing to it!

[Vladimir]
Follow in my footsteps
Shoe by shoe!

[Vladimir & Dmitry]
You can learn to do it too!

[Dmitry]
Now, elbows in and sit up straight
And do not slurp the stroganoff

[Anya]
I never cared for stroganoff!

[Vladimir]
She said that like a Romanov!

[Dmitry]
The Samovar

[Vladimir]
The caviar

[Anya]
Dessert and then goodnight?

[Vladimir & Dmitry]
Not until you get this right!

[Vladimir]
If I can learn to do it

[Dmitry]
If he can learn to do it

[Vladimir]
You can learn to do it!

[Dmitry]
You can learn to do it

[Vladimir]
Pull yourself together

[Vladimir & Dmitry]
And you'll pull through it!

[Vladimir]
Tell yourself it's easy

[Vladimir & Dmitry]
And it's true!
You can learn to do it, too!

[Vladimir]
Who is your great-grandmother?

[Anya]
Queen Victoria

[Vladimir]
Great-great grandmother?

[Anya]
Uh--- Princess Victoria of Saxe-Colburg-Saalfeld

[Vladimir]
Your best friend is?

[Anya]
My little brother, Alexei

[Dmitry]
Wrong! Your best friend?

[Anya]
I know who my best friend is!

[Dmitry]
What a temper!

[Anya]
I don't like being contradicted!

[Dmitry]
That makes two of us!

[Vladimir]
Continuing on...

[Anya]
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!

[Vladimir]
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?

[Dmitry]
Set

[Anya]
Go

[Vladimir]
Now here's your great Aunt Olga

[Dmitry]
How she frolicked on the Volga

[Anya]
Oh!

[Vladimir]
Your distant cousin Vanya loved his vodka

[Dmitry]
Got it, Anya?

[Anya]
No!

[Vladimir]
The Duke of Oldenburgh was short!

[Dmitry]
Louise of Boden

[Anya]
Had a--

[Dmitry]
Wart!

[Vladimir]
Count Sergei

[Dmitry]
Wore a feathered hat

[Vladimir]
I hear he's gotten very fat

[Anya]
And I recall his yellow cat!

[Vladimir]
I don't believe we told her that

[Vladimir & Dmitry]
If you can learn to do it

[Anya]
I can learn to do it!

[Vladimir & Dmitry]
He can learn to do it

[Anya]
You can learn to do it!

[Vladimir & Dmitry]
Pull yourself together

[Anya, Vladimir & Dimitry]
And we'll pull through it!

[Vladimir]
Tell yourself it's easy

[Anya, Vladimir & Dmitry]
And it's true

[Vladimir & Dmitry]
You can learn to do it

[Anya]
Nothing to it!

[Anya, Vladimir & Dmitry]
You can learn to do it

[Anya]
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

[Vladimir & Dmitry]
Ha!

[Anya, Vladimir & Dimitry]
You can learn to do it, too!
