Lyrics, quotes and pictures
I can't believe I'm stuck with her all summer /
 I'll bet, she doesn't 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 idea
/ 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? /
 To 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 and learn to read?
/ This really isn't fair
/ We really couldn't care
/ Boys, it's all or none
/ This is not my idea
/ 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 / 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 This is my idea This is my idea This is my idea of love NOTE: To watch the pictures in high resolution, click on them Watch original songs from The Swan Princess soundtrack |
