JULIAN (SPOKEN): Now remember, No nagging, bragging, sweating, fretting, slipping, tripping, Slurping, burping, twittering or frittering allowed. Stay Present, stay pleasant, stay proud.
JULIAN: To be a princess Is to know which spoon to use To be a princess Is to own a thousand pairs of shoes To maintain a regal gait Leave the parsley on your plate And be charming but detached And yet amused To be a princess Is to never be confused
Do a pliй and never fall Don't ever stray from protocol All through the day There's just one way You must behave Do keep a grip and never crack Stiff upper lip and arch the back Bend from above And always wear your gloves And wave
Shoulders back and Tummy in and Pinky out and Lift the chin and Slowly turn the head from side to side
ERIKA: I see now
JULIAN: Breathing gently Stepping lightly Smile brightly Nod politely Never show a thing you feel inside Glide!
To be a princess Is to always look your best To be a princess Is to never get to rest Sit for a portrait, never squirm Sleep on a mattress extra firm Speak and be clever Never at a loss for words Curtsy to every count and lord Learn how to play the harpsichord Sing lullabies and always harmonize in thirds
BOTH: Thirds, thirds
JULIAN: And She has beautiful eyes Your spirits rise When she walks in the room
ERIKA: I see
JULIAN: Doors close And the chemistry grows She's like a rose That's forever in bloom
JULIAN & (ERIKA): Do a pliй and don't (Ever ever ever fall) Never show dismay (And be there when people call) Be prepared whatever royal life will bring Do keep a grip and don't (Ever ever ever crack) Take a dainty sip (Never ever turn your back) There's a time and place and way for everything
To be a princess Is to never make your bed To be a princess Is to always use your head
