Lex de Azevedo
The Swan Princess
This Is My Idea
[Derek:]
I can't believe I'm stuck with her all summer
I bet she doesn't wrestle, hunt or box

[Odette:]
He looks conceited

[Derek:]
What a total bummer

[Derek and Odette:]
If I get lucky I'll get chicken pox


[Derek:]
So happy you could come

[Odette:]
So happy to be here

[Derek and Odette:]
How I'd like to run

[Odette:]
This is not my idea

[Derek:]
This isn't my idea

[Derek and Odette:]
Of fun!


[Uberta:]
The children seem to get along quite nicely

[William:]
We'll join our lands if this arrangement clicks

[Uberta:]
My dear King William, that's my point preciely

[William:]
It's such good parenting

[Uberta:]
And politics

So happy we agree

[William:]
I think we've got a deal

[Uberta:]
Derek's quite a catch

[William:]
This is my idea

[Uberta:]
This is my idea

[William and Uberta:]
Of a match!


[William:]
Good heavens, child, don't dawdle
We can't keep Derek waiting

[Odette:]
I haven't packed or washed my hair
And father, I get seasick

[Uberta:]
They soon will be arriving
Is that respect you're showing?

[Derek:]
You make me kiss her hand again
I swear I'm gonna be sick


[William:]
One day Prince Derek will be her intended

[Uberta:]
Splendid!


[Derek:]
We've tried all summer but we just can't lose her

[Odette:]
Hey, fellas, wait up!

[Bromley:]
Quick, put on some speed!

[Derek:]
When picking teams

[Bromley:]
or friends

[Derek:]
I never choose her

[Bromley:]
You think she'd take a hint and learn to read


[Odette:]
This really isn't fair

[Derek and Bromley:]
We really couldn't care

[Odette:]
Boys, it's all or none
This is not my idea

[Derek and Bromley:]
This isn't my idea

[Odette, Derek and Bromley:]
Of fun!


[Townsfolk:]
Long before they met
Derek and Odette

Were destined to be wedded

[Maids:]
However, anyone could see

[Servants:]
The only point on which they didn't disagree

[Maids:]
Was that the very thought of summertime

[Maids and Servants:]
Was dreaded


[Derek:]
She tries to talk me into playing dress-up
She's always flirting with the castle guards

[Bromley:]
I think you really sort of like her, 'fess up

[Derek:]
I'd like her better if she'd lose at cards

Four sevens and a ten

[Odette:]
I think I've won again

[Derek and Bromley:]
Every time she's won

[Odette:]
This is my idea

[Derek and Bromley:]
This isn't my idea

[Odette, Derek and Bromley:]
Of fun!


[Townsfolk:]
We need a royal wedding
I'd love to be invited
At least we'll get a holiday to rest our ploughs and axes
Someday these two will marry
Two lands will be united
And with some luck their marriage may result in lower taxes


[William:]
What if Odette doesn't go for the merger?

[Uberta:]
Urge her!


[Derek and Odette:]
For as long as I remember
We've been told we'd someday wed
Every June until September

[Derek:]
All their pushing and annoying hints

[Odette:]
I've got bruises with their fingerprints

[Derek:]
I can do much better, I am sure

[Odette:]
He's so immature

I see him smiling and my knees start buckling
I see inside him and my doubts are gone

[Derek:]
She started out as such an ugly duckling
And somehow suddenly became a swan


[Odette:]
So happy to be here

[Derek:]
Till now I never knew

[Derek and Odette:]
It is you I've been dreaming of

[Derek:]
This is my idea

[Odette:]
This is my idea

[Chorus:]
What a good idea, it's such a charming and romantic notion


[Maids:]
This is my idea

[Servants:]
This is my idea

[Maids:]
Such a good idea

[Servants:]
Such a good idea

[Maids:]
What a good idea

[Chorus:]
Such a powerful and magic notion
This is exactly my idea of love


[Odette:]
This is my idea

[Derek:]
This is my idea

[Derek and Odette:]
This is my idea of love
