Anastasia:
A palace by the sea.
Could it be?
Vladimir:
Yes,that's right.
You rode horseback when you were only three.
Anastasia:
Horseback riding? Me?
Vladimir:
And the horse...
Dimitri:
He was white!
Vladimir:
You made faces and terrorized the cook!
Dimitri:
Threw him in the brook!
Anastasia:
Was I wild?
Dimitri:
Wrote the book!
Vladimir:
But you'd behave when your father gave that look!
Dimitri:
Imagine how it was!
Vladimir:
Your long-forgotten past!
Vladimir,Dimitri:
We've lots and lots to teach you and the time is going fast!
Anastasia:
All right. I'm ready!
Vladimir:
Now,shoulders back and stand up tall
Dimitri:
And do not walk,but try to float.
Anastasia:
I feel a little foolish.
Am I floating?
Vladimir:
Like a little boat!
Dimitri:
You give a bow.
Anastasia:
What happens now?
Vladimir:
Your hand receives a kiss!
Vladimir,Dimitri:
Most of all,remember this:
Vladimir:
If I can learn to do it,
You can learn to do it.
Dimitri:
Something in you knows it--
Vladimir,Dimitri:
There's nothing to it!
Vladimir:
Follow in my footsteps,shoe by shoe!
Vladimir,Dimitri:
You can learn to do it too!
Vladimir:
Now,elbows in and sit up straight
Dimitri:
And never slurp the stroganoff.
Anastasia:
I never cared for stroganoff!
Vladimir:
She said that like a Romanov!
Dimitri:
The Samovar.
Vladimir:
The caviar.
Anastasia:
Dessert and then goodnight?
Vladimir,Dimitri:
Not until you get this right!
Vladimir:
If I can learn to do it
Dimitri:
If he can learn to do it
Vladimir:
You can learn to do it!
Dimitri:
You can learn to do it
Vladimir:
Pull yourself together
Vladimir,Dimitri:
And you'll pull through it!
Vladimir:
Tell yourself it's easy
Vladimir,Dimitri:
And it's true!
You can learn to do it too!
Vladimir:
Next,you must memorize the names of the royalty.
Now here we have Kropotkin
Dimitri:

Anastasia:
Oh!
Vladimir:
And dear old uncle Vanya

Dimitri:
Wore a feathered hat.
Vladimir:
I hear he's gotten very fat.
Anastasia:

Vladimir:
I don't believe we told her that...
Anastasia:
If you can learn to do it,
I can learn to do it!
Vladimir:
Don't know how you knew it.
Anastasia:
I simply knew it!
Suddenly I feel like someone new...
Vladimir,Dimitri:
Anya,you're a dream come true!
If I can learn to do it,
Anastasia:
If I can learn to do it
Vladimir,Dimitri:
You can learn to do it!
Anastasia:

All Three:
And you'll pull through it!

Nothing to it!
All Three:
You can learn to do it too!
