This Is My Idea

Derek:I can't believe I'm stuck with her all summer
I'll bet she doesn't wrestle, hunt or box

Odette:He looks conceited

Derek: What a total bummer

Odette & Derek: If I get lucky I'll get chicken pox

Derek: So happy you could come

Odette: So happy to be here

Odette & Derek: How I'd like to run

Odette: This is not my

Derek: This isn't my idea

Odette & Derek: Of fun

Queen Uberta: The children seem to get along quite nicely

King William: We'll join our lands if this arrangement clicks

Queen Uberta: My dear King William, that's my point precisely

King William: It's such good parenting

Queen Uberta: And politics
So happy we agree

King William: I think we've got a deal

Queen Uberta: Derek's quite a catch

King William: This is my idea

Queen Uberta: This is my idea

King William & Queen Uberta: Of a match

Queen Uberta: and such fun

King William: Good heavens, child, don't dawdle
We can't keep Derek waiting

Odette: I haven't packed or washed my hair
And father I get seasick

Queen Uberta: She soon will be arriving
Is that respect you're showing

Derek: You make me kiss her hand again
I swear I'm gonna be sick

King William: One day Prince Derek will be her intended

Queen Uberta: Splendid

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

Odette: Hey fellas, wait up!

Bromley: Quick, put on some speed

Derek: When picking teams

Bromley: Or friends

Derek: I never choose her

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

Odette: This really isn't fair

Derek & Bromley: We really couldn't care

Odette: Boys, it's all or none
This is not my

Derek & Bromley: This isn't my idea

Odette, Derek & Bromley: Of fun

Chorus: 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

Derek: She tries to talk me into playing dress-up
She's always flirting with the castle guards

Bromley: I think you really sorta like her, 'fess up

Derek: I'd like her better if she'd lose at cards
(spoken) Four sevens and a ten

Odette: I think I've won again

Derek & Bromley: Every time she's won

Odette: This is my idea

Derek: This isn't my idea

Odette & Derek: Of fun

Chorus: 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

King William: What if Odette doesn't go for the merger?

Queen Uberta: Urge her!

Odette & Derek: For as long as I remember
We've been told we'd someday wed
Every June until September

Derek: All their pushing and annoying hints

Odette: I've got bruises with their fingerprints

Derek: I can do much better I am sure

Odette: He's so immature

Odette: I see him smiling and my knees start buckling
I see inside him and my doubts are gone

Derek: She started out as such an ugly duckling
And somehow suddenly became a swan

Odette: So happy to be here

Derek: 'Til now I never knew

Odette & Derek: It is you I've been dreaming of

Derek: This is my idea

Odette: This is my idea

Chorus: What a good idea, such a charming and romantic notion
This is my idea (This is my idea)
Such a good idea (Such a good idea)
What a good idea, such a powerful and magic potion
This is exactly my idea
Of love

Odette: This is my idea

Derek: This is my idea

Odette & Derek: This is my idea
Of love
