[Verse]
Gb Ab
You were born in a palace by the sea
Abm
A palace by the sea?
Gb
Could it be?
Yes, that's right
Gb Ab
You rode horseback when you were only three
Abm
Horseback riding? Me?
Gb
And the horse?
He was white!
Bb C
You made faces and terrorized the cook!
Cm
Threw him in the brook!
Bb
Was I wild?
Wrote the book!
Bb C
But you'd behave when your father gave that look!
Bb
Imagine how it was!
Your long-forgotten past!
Eb
We've lots and lots to teach you and the time is going fast!

[Verse]
F#m B
All right... I'm ready!
E
Now, shoulders back and stand up tall
E
And do not walk, but try to float
B
I feel a little foolish
F#
Am I floating?
Like a little boat!
E
You give a bow
What happens now?
A
Your hand receives a kiss!
B
Most of all remember this
[Chorus]
A# B
If I can learn to do it, you can learn to do it
Something in you knows it
G#m A A# B
There's nothing to it!
B C#
Follow in my footsteps, shoe by shoe!
F#m Em E
You can learn to do it too!
[Verse]
Cm Bm Cm
Now, elbows in and sit up straight
Bm Cm Bm Cm
And never slurp the stroganoff
Bm Cm Bm Cm
I never cared for stroganoff!
Bm Cm Bm Cm
She said that like a Romanov!
Dm
The Samovar
The caviar
Bb
Dessert and then goodnight?
C B C
Not until you get this right!
[Chorus]

If I can learn to do it

If he can learn to do it
C
You can learn to do it!

Pull yourself together

And you'll pull through it!

Tell yourself it's easy

And it's true!
Bb F
You can learn to do it too!
