[Db] _ _ _ _ _ [C] I can't believe [Db] I'm stuck with her all [Bbm] summer.
[Eb] Oh, but she [Ab] doesn't wrestle hype or [E] box.
She looks conceited on its own, oh [Dbm] bummer.
[Gb] If I get [B] lucky I'll get chicken [Abm] pox.
So happy [Db] you could come.
[Gb] So [B] happy to be [E] here.
How [Dbm] I like [Bbm] you [Eb] all.
_ [Abm] _ _ _
[Eb] This isn't my idea.
[Ab] _ _ _ _
[Fm] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Db] _ [Gbm] Children seem to get [Db] along quite nicely.
We'll join [Eb] our lands [Ab] if this arrangement clicks.
[E] _ My dear King William, that's my point precisely.
[Dbm] _ [Gb] It's such good [B] parenting.
And politics.
[Abm] So [Db] happy we agree.
[Gb] I think [B] we've got a deal.
[E] _ _ Derek's [Bbm] quite a [Eb] _ catch.
[Abm] This is [Eb] my idea.
This is my [Ab] idea.
Of a match.
[Eb] _
[Ab] _ [Eb] Such fun.
[Fm] _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ [Eb] _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ [Bb] _ _
[Eb] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Db] _ _ [Eb] _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Abm] _
[E] God, Heaven's child.
[B] Don't dawdle.
[Dbm] We [Gb] can't keep [B] Derek waiting.
I haven't packed or washed [Abm] my hair in forever.
_ [Gb] _
_ _ _ [A] We soon will be [E] _ arriving.
_ [Gbm] Is [B] that a wrist snap [E] you're showing?
You make me kiss her hand [Gbm] again.
I swear [B] I'm gonna [E] be sick. _ _ _
[Ab] One [Dbm] day Prince [Ab] Derek will be her intended.
Oh, _ splendid. _ _ _ _
[Fm] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Db] _ We've tried all summer but we just can't lose [Bbm] her.
[Eb] Hey fellas, wait [Ab] up.
Quick, put her on some speed.
[E] When [B] picking tea, [E] I never choose [Dbm] her.
You [Gb] think she'd take a [B] hint and learn to read.
[Abm] This really [Db] isn't [Gb] fair.
We really [B] couldn't [E] care.
Boys, it's all [Eb] on _ _ _ _ [Abm] _ _
[Eb] my end.
This isn't my idea.
[Ab] I'll see.
[Eb] _ _
[Fm] _ [Bb] _ [Eb] _ [C] _ [Fm] Long _ before they _ [Bb] _ [Eb] met,
Derek and _ _ [Am] Odette _ _
were destined to [Cm] be _ [G] _ _
wedded.
However, [Bm] her [Gb] _ _
[Bm] message
the [E] point on [A] which they didn't _
[D] disagree
said that the very [Abm] thought of such
[Eb] _ _
[Gb] _ _ [Db] was [E] _ _ [Ebm] _ _
[E] _ _ [B] dreaded. _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ [Db] She tries to talk me into playing dress up.
She's [Eb] always flirting [Ab] with the castle guards.
[E] I [B] think you really [E] sorta like her. Dress [Dbm] up?
I'd [Gb] like her better [B] if she'd lose at [Abm] cards.
Four sevens [Db] and a ten.
[Gb] I think I'd [B] want to [E] get_
[Dbm] Every time [Bbm] she's _ [Eb] won.
_ [Abm] _ _
[Eb] This isn't my idea [Ab] of fun.
[Eb] _ _
[Fm] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Db] _ _ [Ab] _ _
[Bbm] _ [Eb] _ [Abm] _ [E] We need a [B] royal wedding.
[Dbm] I'd [Gb] love to be [B] invited.
_ [E] At least we'll get a holiday to rest our plows and [Gb] axes. _ _ _ _
[A] _ These two [E] will marry.
[Gbm] Two [B] lands will be [E] united.
_ [Gbm]
And with some luck their marriage may [B] result in lower [E] taxes.
_ _ _ _ [Ab] What if Odette doesn't go for the merger?
_ Urge her.
_ [Eb] _ _ [Fm] _ _ [C] _ _
[Fm] _ [E] For as long [Ab] as I [Bb] remember
[Eb] _ we've been told [Ab] we'd someday wed.
[Am] _ Every June [C] until [D] September
[Gm] all their pushing and [Bb] annoying hints.
[Fm] I've got bruises with their [Ab] fingerprints. _
I [Am] can do much better [E] I am sure.
[Bm] _
He's so _ [A] [D] immature. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] I [E] see him smiling.
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Fm] _ I [Bb] see inside him [Eb] and my doubts are gone.
[B] _ She [Db] started out as such [B] an ugly duckling
[Abm] _ and [Db] somehow suddenly [Gb] _
[Ab] became [Gb] a swan.
[Abm] So happy to [Db] be here.
Till [Gb] now I [B] never knew
[E] it is [B] you I've [Dbm] been dreaming [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ of.
[Dbm] _ This is [Gb] my idea.
[B] This is [Dbm] my idea.
What [Eb] a good idea.
It's such a charming [Ab] and romantic notion.
[B] This is my idea.
This is my idea.
What a good idea.
[Ab] What a good idea.
It's such a powerful and magic [Dbm] potion.
_ [Gb] It [B] is [E] exactly my [Eb] idea.
_ It's my _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ idea. _
[Fm] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Eb] _
[F] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
[Db] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _
_ [Abm] _ _ [B] _ [Db] _ _ _ [Gb] _
_ [Db] _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
[Db] _ _ _ [Gb] _ This is [B] my idea.
_ _ This is my idea.
_ _ [Gb] _ This is my idea. Oh. _ _
