Liz Callaway – Learn To Do It lyrics

You were born in a palace by the sea.
A palace by the sea?
Could it be?

Yes, that's right.
You rode horseback when you were only three.
Horseback riding? Me?

And the horse
He was white
You made faces and terrorized the cook!
Threw him in the brook!

Was I wild?
Wrote the book!
But you'd behave when your father gave that look!

Imagine how it was!
Your long-forgotten past!
We've lots and lots to teach you and the time is gonig fast!

All right, I'm ready!
Now, shoulders back and stand up tall
And do not walk, but try to float.

I feel a little foolish.
Am I floating?
Like a little boat

You give a bow
What happens now?
Your hand receives a kiss
Most of all remember this

If I can learn to do it, you can learn to do it.
Something in you knows it
There's nothing to it

Follow in my footsteps, shoe by shoe
You can learn to do it too
Now, elbows in and sit up straight

And never slurp the stroganoff
I never cared for stroganoff
She said that like a Romanov

The Samovar
The caviar

Dessert and then goodnight?
Not until you get this right

If I can learn to do it
If he can learn to do it
You can learn to do it
You can learn to do it

Pull yourself together
And you'll pull through it
Tell yourself it's easy

And it's true!
You can learn to do it too
Next, you must memorize the names of the royalty
Now here we have Kropotkin

Shot Potemkin
In the Botkin
Oh!

And dear old uncle Vanya loved his vodka
Got it Anya?
No!

The Baron Pushkin
He was...?
Short!

Count Anatoly
Had a... ?
Wart!
Count Sergei
Wore a feathered hat.
I hear he's gotten very fat.

And I recall his yellow cat!
I don't believe we told her that.
If you can learn to do it,
I can learn to do it!

Don't know how you knew it
I simply knew it!
Suddenly I feel like someone new
Anya, you're a dream come true!

If I can learn to do it,
If I can learn to do it

You can learn to do it
You can learn to do it

Pull yourself together
And you'll pull through it
Tell yourself it's easy
And it's true

You can learn to do it,
Nothing to it
You can learn to do it too
