Barbie - To Be A Princess lyrics

rate me

JULIAN (SPOKEN):<br />

Now remember, <br />

No nagging, bragging, sweating, fretting, slipping, tripping, <br />

Slurping, burping, twittering or frittering allowed.<br />

Stay Present, stay pleasant, stay proud.<br />

<br />

JULIAN:<br />

To be a princess<br />

Is to know which spoon to use<br />

To be a princess<br />

Is to own a thousand pairs of shoes<br />

To maintain a regal gait<br />

Leave the parsley on your plate<br />

And be charming but detached<br />

And yet amused<br />

To be a princess<br />

Is to never be confused<br />

<br />

Do a plié and never fall<br />

Don't ever stray from protocol<br />

All through the day<br />

There's just one way<br />

You must behave<br />

Do keep a grip and never crack<br />

Stiff upper lip and arch the back<br />

Bend from above<br />

And always wear your gloves<br />

And wave<br />

<br />

Shoulders back and<br />

Tummy in and<br />

Pinky out and<br />

Lift the chin and<br />

Slowly turn the head from side to side<br />

<br />

ERIKA:<br />

I see now<br />

<br />

JULIAN:<br />

Breathing gently<br />

Stepping lightly<br />

Smile brightly<br />

Nod politely<br />

Never show a thing you feel inside<br />

Glide! <br />

<br />

To be a princess<br />

Is to always look your best<br />

To be a princess<br />

Is to never get to rest<br />

Sit for a portrait, never squirm<br />

Sleep on a mattress extra firm<br />

Speak and be clever<br />

Never at a loss for words<br />

Curtsy to every count and lord<br />

Learn how to play the harpsichord<br />

Sing lullabies and always harmonize in thirds<br />

<br />

BOTH:<br />

Thirds, thirds<br />

<br />

JULIAN:<br />

And<br />

She has beautiful eyes<br />

Your spirits rise<br />

When she walks in the room<br />

<br />

ERIKA:<br />

I see<br />

<br />

JULIAN:<br />

Doors close<br />

And the chemistry grows<br />

She's like a rose<br />

That's forever in bloom<br />

<br />

JULIAN & (ERIKA):<br />

Do a plié and don't<br />

(Ever ever ever fall)<br />

Never show dismay<br />

(And be there when people call)<br />

Be prepared whatever royal life will bring<br />

Do keep a grip and don't<br />

(Ever ever ever crack)<br />

Take a dainty sip<br />

(Never ever turn your back)<br />

There's a time and place and way for everything<br />

<br />

To be a princess<br />

Is to never make your bed<br />

To be a princess<br />

Is to always use your head
