This Is My Idea

Lyrics

I can't believe I'm stuck with her all summer
 I'll be she doesnt wrestle, hunt or box
 He looks conceited
 What a total bummer
 If I get lucky I'll get chicken pox
 So happy you could come
 So happy to be here
 How I'd like to run
 This is not my
 This isn't my idea
 Of fun
 The children seem to get along quite nicely
 We'll join our lands if this arrangement clicks
 My dear King William, that's my point precisely
 It's such good parenting
 And politics
 So happy we agree
 I think we've got a deal
 Derek's quite a catch
 This is my idea
 This is my idea
 Of a match
 and such fun
 ♪
 Good heavens, child, don't dawdle
 We can't keep Derek waiting
 I haven't packed or washed my hair
 And father I get seasick
 She soon will be arriving
 Is that respect you're showing
 You make me kiss her hand again
 I swear I'm gonna be sick
 One day Prince Derek will be her intended
 Splendid
 We've tried all summer but we just can't lose her
 Hey fellas, wait up!
 Quick, put on some speed
 When picking teams
 Or friends
 I never choose her
 You'd think she'd take a hint a learn to read
 This really isn't fair
 We really couldn't care
 Boys, it's all or none
 This is not my
 This isn't my idea
 Of fun
 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
 ♪
 She tries to talk me into playing dress-up
 She's always flirting with the castle guards
 I think you really sorta like her, 'fess up
 I'd like her better if she'd lose at cards
 Four sevens and a ten
 I think I've won again
 Every time she's won
 This is my idea
 This isn't my idea
 Of fun
 ♪
 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
 What if Odette doesn't go for the merger?
 Urge her!
 For as long as I remember
 We've been told we'd someday wed
 Every June until September
 All their pushing and annoying hints
 I've got bruises with their fingerprints
 I can do much better I am sure
 He's so immature
 ♪
 I see him smiling and my knees start buckling
 I see inside him and my doubts are gone
 She started out as such an ugly duckling
 And somehow suddenly became a swan
 So happy to be here
 'Til now I never knew
 It is you I've been dreaming of
 This is my idea
 This is my idea
 What a good idea, such a charming and romantic notion
 This is my idea
 Such a good idea
 What a good idea, such a powerful and magic potion
 This is exactly my idea
 Of love
 ♪
 This is my idea
 This is my idea
 This is my idea
 Of love
