John Bolton feat. Derek Klena & Christy Altomare learn to do it

Select language to translate this lyric

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?
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 a 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-Colburg-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?
Now here's your great aunt Olga
How she frolicked on the Volga
Your distant cousin Vanya loved his vodka
Got it Anya?
The Duke of Oldenburgh was short!
Louise of Boden
Had a-
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
You can learn to do it too
