lyrics

PRINCE DIMITRI:
Wouldn’t it be great to be good at something?
Wouldn’t you love to make your father proud?
You don’t doddle along if you write novels or songs,
Just feed your work to a hungry crowd.

Wouldn’t you love to be a performer?
A singer or an actor on the stage.
People all cheer and they will lend you their ears.
You alone could bring the golden age.

But I am not great, or good on dates.
I really don’t have time for girls.
I don’t want to be king, I just really want to sing.
I’d much rather be a duke or an earl.

Wouldn’t it be great if we didn’t get married?
Wouldn’t you love to just be friends?
I know there’s not much choice, but I gotta use my voice.
I hope my offer doesn’t offend.

PRINCESS DAHLIA:
Wouldn’t it be great if your talents weren’t wasted?
If you could just be a girl with a good shot?
But folks don’t want to know, they’d have me sit inside and sew.
I’d rather hunt and pray I don’t get caught.

Wouldn’t you love if no one really cared?
If you could prove you were the strongest far and wide?
I would keep this kingdom safe and I would never have to wait
For unnecessary chaperones or guides.

But I want to be the same person I see
Every morning when I look into the mirror.
Each day that I waste pretending to be chaste
Only makes my reflection grow clearer!

DAHLIA/DIMITRI:
Wouldn’t it be great if they saw me like my brother?
To be my father’s pride and joy?
To someday rule this land and make people understand
Not every leader has to be a man.

Wouldn’t it be great if they saw me like my brother?
To be my father’s pride and joy?
To someday rule this land and make people understand
Not every leader has to be a man
Not every leader has to be a man

ADDY:
I know I’m here to do my duty
If I don’t, if I don’t.
I know I made a promise to my family
I can’t ignore!
