This Is My Idea

I can't believe I'm stuck with her all summer

I'll be she doesnt wrestle, hunt or box

He looks conceited

What a total bummer

If I get lucky I'll get chicken pox

So happy you could come

So happy to be here

How I'd like to run

This is not my

This isn't my idea

Of fun

The children seem to get along quite nicely

We'll join our lands if this arrangement clicks

My dear King William, that's my point precisely

It's such good parenting

And politics

So happy we agree

I think we've got a deal

Derek's quite a catch

This is my idea

This is my idea

Of a match

and such fun

♪

Good heavens, child, don't dawdle

We can't keep Derek waiting

I haven't packed or washed my hair

And father I get seasick

She soon will be arriving

Is that respect you're showing

You make me kiss her hand again

I swear I'm gonna be sick

One day Prince Derek will be her intended

Splendid

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

Hey fellas, wait up!

Quick, put on some speed

When picking teams

Or friends

I never choose her

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

This really isn't fair

We really couldn't care

Boys, it's all or none

This is not my

This isn't my idea

Of fun

Long before they met

Derek and Odette

Were destined to be wedded

However anyone could see

The only point on which they didn't disagree

Was that the very thought of summertime

Was dreaded

♪

She tries to talk me into playing dress-up

She's always flirting with the castle guards

I think you really sorta like her, 'fess up

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

Four sevens and a ten

I think I've won again

Every time she's won

This is my idea

This isn't my idea

Of fun

♪

We need a royal wedding

I'd love to be invited

At least we'd 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

What if Odette doesn't go for the merger?

Urge her!

For as long as I remember

We've been told we'd someday wed

Every June until September

All their pushing and annoying hints

I've got bruises with their fingerprints

I can do much better I am sure

He's so immature

♪

I see him smiling and my knees start buckling

I see inside him and my doubts are gone

She started out as such an ugly duckling

And somehow suddenly became a swan

So happy to be here

'Til now I never knew

It is you I've been dreaming of

This is my idea

This is my idea

What a good idea, such a charming and romantic notion

This is my idea

Such a good idea

What a good idea, such a powerful and magic potion

This is exactly my idea

Of love
