This Is My Idea

I can't believe I'm stuck with her all summer
I'll be she doesnt 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
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
You 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 a learn to read
This really isn't fair
We really couldn't care
Boys, it's all or none
This is not my
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
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
