[Odette:]

If I could break this spell
I'd run to him today
And somehow I know he's on his way to me
Derek, you and I were meant to be

Far longer than forever
I'll hold you in my heart
It's almost like you're here with me
Although we're far apart

[Derek:]

Far longer than forever
As constant as a star
I close my eyes and I am where you are

[Odette:]

Sure as the dawn brings the sunrise
We've an unshakable bond

[Derek:]

Destined to last for a lifetime and beyond

Far longer than forever

[Odette:]

Far longer than forever

[Derek:]

I swear that I'll be true

[Odette:]

I swear that I'll be true

[Derek:]

I've made an

[Derek and Odette:]

everlasting vow
To find a way to you

Far longer than forever
Like no love ever known

[Odette:]

And with your love

[Derek and Odette:]

I'll never be alone

[Odette:]

Far longer than forever

[Derek:]

Much stronger than forever

[Odette:]

And with your love I'll never be alone

[Derek:]

I can't believe I'm stuck with her all summer
I bet she doesn't wrestle, hunt or box

[Odette:]

He looks conceited

[Derek:]

What a total bummer

[Derek and Odette:]

If I get lucky I'll get chicken pox

[Derek:]

So happy you could come

[Odette:]

So happy to be here

[Derek and Odette:]

How I'd like to run

[Odette:]

This is not my idea

[Derek:]

This isn't my idea

[Derek and Odette:]

Of fun!

[Uberta:]

The children seem to get along quite nicely

[William:]

We'll join our lands if this arrangement clicks

[Uberta:]

My dear King William, that's my point preciely

[William:]

It's such good parenting

[Uberta:]

And politics

So happy we agree

[William:]

I think we've got a deal

[Uberta:]

Derek's quite a catch

[William:]

This is my idea

[Uberta:]

This is my idea

[William and Uberta:]

Of a match!

[William:]

Good heavens, child, don't dawdle
We can't keep Derek waiting

[Odette:]

I haven't packed or washed my hair
And father, I get seasick

[Uberta:]

They soon will be arriving
Is that respect you're showing?

[Derek:]

You make me kiss her hand again
I swear I'm gonna be sick

[William:]

One day Prince Derek will be her intended

[Uberta:]

Splendid!

[Derek:]

We've tried all summer but we just can't lose her

[Odette:]

Hey, fellas, wait up!

[Bromley:]

Quick, put on some speed!

[Derek:]

When picking teams

[Bromley:]

or friends

[Derek:]

I never choose her

[Bromley:]

You think she'd take a hint and learn to read

[Odette:]

This really isn't fair

[Derek and Bromley:]

We really couldn't care

[Odette:]

Boys, it's all or none
This is not my idea

[Derek and Bromley:]

This isn't my idea

[Odette, Derek and Bromley:]

Of fun!

[Townsfolk:]

Long before they met
Derek and Odette
Were destined to be wedded

[Maids:]

However, anyone could see

[Servants:]

The only point on which they didn't disagree

[Maids:]

Was that the very thought of summertime

[Maids and Servants:]

Was dreaded

[Derek:]

She tries to talk me into playing dress-up
She's always flirting with the castle guards

[Bromley:]

I think you really sort of like her, 'fess up

[Derek:]

I'd like her better if she'd lose at cards

Four sevens and a ten

[Odette:]

I think I've won again

[Derek and Bromley:]

Every time she's won

[Odette:]

This is my idea

[Derek and Bromley:]

This isn't my idea

[Odette, Derek and Bromley:]

Of fun!

[Townsfolk:]

We need a royal wedding
I'd love to be invited
At least we'll 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

[William:]

What if Odette doesn't go for the merger?

[Uberta:]

Urge her!

[Derek and Odette:]

For as long as I remember
We've been told we'd someday wed
Every June until September

[Derek:]

All their pushing and annoying hints

[Odette:]

I've got bruises with their fingerprints

[Derek:]

I can do much better, I am sure

[Odette:]

He's so immature

I see him smiling and my knees start buckling
I see inside him and my doubts are gone

[Derek:]

She started out as such an ugly duckling
And somehow suddenly became a swan

[Odette:]

So happy to be here

[Derek:]

Till now I never knew

[Derek and Odette:]

It is you I've been dreaming of

[Derek:]

This is my idea

[Odette:]

This is my idea

[Chorus:]

What a good idea, it's such a charming and romantic notion

[Maids:]

This is my idea

[Servants:]

This is my idea

[Maids:]

Such a good idea

[Servants:]

Such a good idea

[Maids:]

What a good idea

[Chorus:]

Such a powerful and magic notion
This is exactly my idea of love

[Odette:]

This is my idea

[Derek:]

This is my idea

[Derek and Odette:]

This is my idea of love
