Learn to Do It

The song sung by Vladimir, Dimitri, and Anastasia when they're teaching Anya everything about being a Romanov.

Lyrics
[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 AND DIMITRI] We've lots and lots to teach you and the time is going fast!

[ANASTASIA] 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 AND 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 AND DIMITRI] There's nothing to it!

[VLADIMIR] Follow in my footsteps, shoe by shoe!

[VLADIMIR AND 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 AND 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 AND DIMITRI] And you'll pull through it!

[VLADIMIR] Tell yourself it's easy

[VLADIMIR AND DIMITRI] And it's true! You can learn to do it too!

[VLADIMIR] Next, you must 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 AND DIMITRI] Anya, you're a dream come true!

If I can learn to do it,

[ANASTASIA] If I can learn to do it

[VLADIMIR AND DIMITRI] You can learn to do it!

[ANASTASIA] You can learn to do it.

[VLADIMIR AND DIMITRI] Pull yourself together

[ALL THREE] And you'll pull through it!

[VLADIMIR] Tell yourself it's easy,

[ALL THREE] And it's true --

[VLADIMIR AND DIMITRI] You can learn to do it,

[ANASTASIA] Nothing to it!

[ALL THREE] You can learn to do it too!
