This Is My Idea [Finnish translation]

[Derek:]

I can't believe I'm stuck with her all summer

I'll bet he 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

[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

[Queen Uberta:]

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:]

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

[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
