Learn To Do It

You were born in a palace by the sea
A palace by the sea
Could it be?
Yes, that's right!

You rode horseback when you were only three
Horseback riding? Me?
And the horse
He was white!

You made faces and terrorized the cook.
Threw him in the brook
Was I wild?
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

-Alright, I'm ready

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 little 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 never slurp the stroganoff
I never cared for stroganoff
She said that like a Romanoff

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

-Next, we memorize the names of the royalty

Now, here we have Kropotkin
Shot Kropotkin
In the Botkin
Oh!

And dear old uncle Vanya
Loved his Vodka
Got it, Anya?
No!

The Baron Pushkin
He was?
Short!
Count Anatoly
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
I can learn to do it
Don't know how you knew it
I simply knew it
Suddenly I feel like someone new
Anya, you're a dream come true

If I can learn to do it
(If I 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
Nothing to it
You can learn to do it, too
