A RUMOR IN ST. PETERSBURG.
❛ my underwear got frozen standing here all week ! ❜
❛ thank goodness for the gossip that gets us through the day ! ❜
❛ have you heard what they’re saying on the street ? ❜
❛ it’s a rumor , a legend , a mystery … ❜
❛ it could be worth a fortune ! ❜
❛ you and i , friend , will go down in history ! ❜
❛ who else could pull it off but you and me ? ❜
❛ we’ll be rich ! ❜
❛ who knows ? ❜
JOURNEY TO THE PAST.
❛ don’t turn back now that we’re here . ❜
❛ life is full of choices . ❜
❛ somewhere down this road , i know someone’s waiting . ❜
❛ i must’ve had them , too ! ❜
❛ i will never be complete until i find you ! ❜
❛ one step at a time . ❜
❛ who knows where this road may go ! ❜
❛ bring me home at last ! ❜
ONCE UPON A DECEMBER.
❛ dancing bears , painted wings . ❜
❛ someone holds me safe and warm . ❜
❛ far away , long ago . ❜
❛ horses prance through a silver storm ! ❜
IN THE DARK OF THE NIGHT.
❛ i was tossing and turning . ❜
❛ the nightmare i had was as bad as can be . ❜
❛ it scared me out of my wits ! ❜
❛ revenge will be sweet . ❜
❛ i can feel that my powers are slowly returning ! ❜
❛ terror’s the least i can do ! ❜
❛ soon she will feel that her nightmares are real ! ❜
❛ evil will find her . ❜
❛ it’s the end of the line ! ❜
❛ she’ll be mine ! ❜
LEARN TO DO IT.
❛ you were born in a palace by the sea . ❜
❛ could it be ? ❜
❛ we’ve lots and lots to teach you ! ❜
❛ shoulders back and stand up tall . ❜
❛ i feel a little foolish . . . ❜
❛ what happens now ? ❜
❛ if i can learn to do it , you can learn to do it . ❜
❛ there’s nothing to it ! ❜
❛ i never cared for stroganoff ! ❜
❛ dessert and then goodnight ? ❜
❛ pull yourself together ! ❜
❛ suddenly , i feel like someone new ! ❜
❛ you’re a dream come true ! ❜
LEARN TO DO IT ( REPRISE ).
❛ i see it at a glance . ❜
❛ she’s radiant and confident . ❜
❛ i taught her well . ❜
❛ how could you do this ? ❜
❛ how will we get through this ? ❜
❛ i never should have let them dance ! ❜
PARIS HOLDS THE KEY.
❛ forget where you’re from . ❜
❛ there’s love in the air ! ❜
❛ i’ve found you at last . ❜
❛ you’ll be gone , that’s the end . ❜
❛ you’ll be très jolie and so smart ! ❜
❛ come dance through the night ! ❜
❛ paris holds the key to her heart ! ❜
❛ ooh la la ! ❜
