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, you must memorize
The names of the royalty
Now, here we have Kropotkin, shot Potemkin in the Botkin
Oh, and dear old uncle Vanya
Loves 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, too
Nothing to it, you can learn to do it, too
