Learn to Do It

[VLADIMIR]
You were born in a palace by the sea

[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, spoken]
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, we memorize the names of the royalty
Now here we have Kropotkin

[DIMITRI]
Shot Potemkin

[VLADIMIR]
In the Botkin

[ANASTASIA]
Oh!

[VLADIMIR]
And dear old uncle Vanya loved his vodka

[DIMITRI]
Got it Anya?

[ANASTASIA]
No!

[VLADIMIR]
The Baron Pushkin

[ANASTASIA]
He was?

[DIMITRI]
Short!

[VLADIMIR]
Count Anatoly

[ANASTASIA]
Had a...

[DIMITRI]
Wart!

[VLADIMIR]
Count Sergei

[DIMITRI]
Wore a feathered hat

[VLADIMIR]
I hear he's gotten very fat

[ANASTASIA]
And I recall his yellow cat...

[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]
You can learn to do it

[VLADIMIR & DIMITRI]
Pull yourself together

[VLADIMIR, DIMITRI & ANASTASIA]
And you'll pull through it!

[VLADIMIR]
Tell yourself it's easy

[VLADIMIR, DIMITRI & ANASTASIA]
And it's true...

[VLADIMIR & DIMITRI]
You can learn to do it

[ANASTASIA]
Nothing to it!

[VLADIMIR, DIMITRI & ANASTASIA]
You can learn to do it too!
