"Learn to Do It" is a song from Anastasia performed by John Bolton (Vlad), Christy Altomare (Anya) and Derek Klena (Dmitry).
VLAD You were born in a palace by the sea
DMITRY A palace by the sea
ANYA Could it be?
VLAD Yes, it’s so You rode horseback when you were only three
ANYA Horseback riding? Me?
DMITRY Horse’s name
VLAD Romeo You threw tantrums and terrorized the cook Ha! How the palace shook
DMITRY Charming child
VLAD Wrote the book But you’d behave when your father gave that look
DMITRY Imagine how it was Your long forgotten past
DMITRY & VLAD We’ve lots and lots to teach you and the time is going fast
VLAD (spoken) Let’s see you walk Head up Regal bearing (sung) Now shoulders back and stand up tall And do not walk, but try to float
ANYA I feel a little foolish Am I floating?
DMITRY Like a sinking boat
VLAD You give a bow
ANYA What happens now?
VLAD Your hand receives a kiss
DMITRY & VLAD Most of all remember this
VLAD If I can learn to do it You can learn to do it
DMITRY Something in you knows it
DMITRY & VLAD There’s nothing to it
VLAD Follow in my footsteps Shoe by shoe
DMITRY & VLAD You can learn to do it too
DMITRY Now elbows in and sit up straight And do not slurp the stroganoff
ANYA I never cared for stroganoff
VLAD She said that like a Romanov
DMITRY The Samovar
VLAD The caviar
ANYA Dessert and then goodnight?
DMITRY & VLAD Not until you get this right
VLAD If I can learn to do it
DMITRY If he can learn to do it
VLAD You can learn to do it
DMITRY You can learn to do it
VLAD Pull yourself together
DMITRY & VLAD And you’ll pull through it
VLAD Tell yourself it’s easy
DMITRY & VLAD And it’s true You can learn to do it too
VLAD (spoken) Who is your great grandmother?
ANYA (spoken) Queen Victoria.
VLAD (spoken) Great-great grandmother?
ANYA (spoken) Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld.
VLAD (spoken) Your best friend is?
ANYA (spoken) My little brother Alexei.
DMITRY (spoken) Wrong. Your best friend is -
ANYA (spoken) I know who my best friend is.
DMITRY (spoken) What a temper.
ANYA (spoken) I don’t like being contradicted.
DMITRY (spoken) That makes two of us.
VLAD (spoken) Continuing on.
ANYA I’ve had it And I hate you both I’m sorry that we ever met I’m hungry And I’m frightened And I’m only human Don’t forget I don’t remember anything Get out and let me be
VLAD Anya, darling Look at me We're all frightened Well, slightly, now and then Shall we start again? Take a breath Count to ten You have courage And strength you barely know So blow that little nose And dry those pretty eyes A princess like Your Majesty can do this if she tries Ready?
DMITRY Set
ANYA Go
VLAD Now here’s your great-aunt Olga
DMITRY How she frolicked On the Volga
ANYA Oh!
VLAD Your distant cousin Vanya Loved his vodka
DMITRY Got it, Anya?
ANYA No.
VLAD The Duke of Oldenburg was short
DMITRY Louise of Baden
ANYA Had a
DMITRY Wart
VLAD Count Sergei
DMITRY Wore a feathered hat
VLAD I hear he’s gotten very fat
ANYA And I recall his yellow cat
VLAD I don’t believe we told her that
DMITRY & VLAD If you can learn to do it
ANYA If I can learn to do it
DMITRY & VLAD He can learn to do it
ANYA You can learn to do it
DMITRY & VLAD Pull yourself together
ALL And we’ll pull through it
VLAD Tell yourself it’s easy
ALL And it’s true
DMITRY & VLAD You can learn to do it
ANYA Nothing to it
ALL You can learn to do it
ANYA The caviar The stroganoff The Samovar The feathered hat The cousin drank The Duke was short And here a wart And there a cat The horse’s name was Romeo So tell me something new
VLAD & DMITRY Ha!
ANYA Ah!
ALL You can learn to do it too
