Disney – This Is My Idea lyrics

Derek: I can't believe I'm stuck with her all summer
I'll be she doesn't wrestle, hunt or box
Odette: He looks conceited
Derek: What a total bummer
Odette & Derek: If I get lucky I'll get chicken pox
Derek: So happy you could come
Odette: So happy to be here
Odette & Derek: How I'd like to run
Odette: This is not my idea
Derek: This isn't my idea
Odette & Derek: Of fun

Queen Uberta: The children seem to get along quite nicely
King William: We'll join our lands if this arrangement clicks
Queen Uberta: My dear King William, that's my point precisely
King William: It's such good parenting
Queen Uberta: And politics
So happy we agree
King William: I think we've got a deal
Queen Uberta: Derek's quite a catch
King William: This is my idea
Queen Uberta: This is my idea
King William & Queen Uberta: Of a match

King William: Good heavens, child, don't dawdle
We can't keep Derek waiting
Odette: I haven't packed or washed my hair
And father I get seasick
Queen Uberta: She soon will be arriving
Is that respect you're showing
Derek: To make me kiss her hand again
I swear I'm gonna be sick

King William: One day Prince Derek will be her intended
Queen Uberta: Splendid

Derek: We've tried all summer but we just can't lose her
Odette: Hey fellas, wait up!
Bromley: Quick, put on some speed
Derek: When picking teams
Bromley: Or friends
Derek: I never choose her
Bromley: You'd think she'd take a hint a learn to read
Odette: This really isn't fair
Derek & Bromley: We really couldn't care
Odette: Boys, it's all or none
This is not my idea
Derek & Bromley: This isn't my idea
Odette, Derek & Bromley: Of fun

Chorus 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

Derek: She tries to talk me into playing dress-up
She's always flirting with the castle guards
Bromley: I think you really sorta like her, 'fess up
Derek: I'd like her better if she'd lose at cards
Four sevens and a ten
Odette: I think I've won again
Derek & Bromley: Every time she's won
Odette: This is my idea
Derek: This isn't my idea
Odette & Derek: Of fun

Chorus 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

King William: What if Odette doesn't go for the merger?
Queen Uberta: Urge her!

Odette & Derek: For as long as I remember
We've been told we'd someday wed
Every June until September
Derek: All their pushing and annoying hints
Odette: I've got bruises with their fingerprints
Derek: I can do much better I am sure
Odette: He's so immature

Odette: I see him smiling and my knees start buckling
I see inside him and my doubts are gone
Derek She started out as such an ugly duckling
And somehow suddenly became a swan
Odette: So happy to be here
Derek: 'Til now I never knew
Odette & Derek: It is you I've been dreaming of
Derek: This is my idea
Odette: This is my idea
Chorus What a good idea, such a charming and romantic notion
This is my idea (This is my idea)
Such a good idea (Such a good idea)
What a good idea, such a powerful and magic potion
This is exactly my idea
Of love

Odette: This is my idea
Derek: This is my idea
Odette & Derek: This is my idea
Of love
