Testo: Swan Princess. This Is My Idea.

Derek I can?t believe I?m stuck with her all summer
I?ll be she doesn?t wrestle, hunt or box
Odette He looks conceited
Derek What a total bummer
Odette & Derek If I get lucky I?ll get chicken pox
Derek So happy you could come
Odette So happy to be here
Odette & Derek How I?d like to run
Odette This is not my idea
Derek This isn?t my idea
Odette & Derek Of fun

Queen Uberta The children seem to get along quite nicely
King William We?ll join our lands if this arrangement clicks
Queen Uberta My dear King William, that?s my point precisely
King William It?s such good parenting
Queen Uberta And politics
So happy we agree
King William I think we?ve got a deal
Queen Uberta Derek?s quite a catch
King William This is my idea
Queen Uberta This is my idea
King William & Queen Uberta Of a match

King 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
Queen Uberta She soon will be arriving
Is that respect you're showing
Derek To make me kiss her hand again
I swear I'm gonna be sick

King William One day Prince Derek will be her intended
Queen 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'd think she'd take a hint a learn to read
Odette This really isn't fair
Derek & Bromley We really couldn't care
Odette Boys, it's all or none
This is not my idea
Derek & Bromley This isn't my idea
Odette, Derek & Bromley Of fun

Chorus Long before they met
Derek and Odette
Were destined to be wedded
However anyone could see
The only point on which they didn't disagree
Was that the very thought of summertime

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 sorta 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 & Bromley Every time she's won
Odette This is my idea
Derek This isn't my idea
Odette & Derek Of fun

Chorus We need a royal wedding
I'd love to be invited
At least we'd 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

King William What if Odette doesn't go for the merger?
Queen Uberta Urge her!

Odette & Derek 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

Odette 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 'Til now I never knew
Odette & Derek It is you I've been dreaming of
Derek This is my idea
Odette This is my idea
Chorus What a good idea, such a charming and romantic notion
This is my idea (This is my idea)
Such a good idea (Such a good idea)
What a good idea, such a powerful and magic potion
This is exactly my idea
Of love

Odette This is my idea
Derek This is my idea
Odette & Derek This is my idea
Of love
