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!
Queen Uberta: And such fun.

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: If you 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, it's 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!
