Learn to Do It

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 your 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!
 Reagal 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 (if he can learn to do it)
 You can 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-Coburg-Saalfeld
 Your best friend is?
 My little brother Alexei
 Wrong! Your best friend is-
 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, and 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 Oldenburg 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 (if I can learn to do it)
 He can learn to do it (you 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
 And here a wart, and there a cat
 The horse's name was Romeo
 So tell me something new
 Ha!
 You can learn to do it too!
