Leonard Bernstein I Feel Pretty Lyrics

MARIA
I feel pretty
Oh so pretty
I feel pretty and witty and bright
And I pity
Any girl who isn't me tonight
I feel charming
Oh so charming
It's alarming how
charming I feel
And so pretty
That I hardly can
believe I'm real
See the pretty girl in
that mirror there?
Who can that
attractive girl be?
Such a pretty face
Such a pretty dress
Such a pretty smile
Such a pretty me!
I feel stunning
And entrancing
Feel like running
And dancing for joy
For I'm loved
By a pretty wonderful boy

GIRLS
Have you met my
good friend Maria
The craziest girl on the block?
You'll know her the
minute you see her
She's the one who is
in an advanced state
of shock
She thinks she's in love
She thinks she's in Spain
She isn't in love
She's merely insane
It must be the heat
Or some rare disease
Or too much to eat
Or maybe it's fleas
Keep away from her
Send for Chino
This is not the Maria we know
Modest and pure
Polite and refined
Well-bred and mature
And out of her mind!
Miss America, Miss
America, speech!
Miss America, bravo, speech!

MARIA
I feel pretty
Oh so pretty
That the city should
give me its key
A committee
Should be organized
to honour me
I feel dizzy
I feel sunny
I feel fizzy and funny and fine
And so pretty
Miss America can just resign
See the pretty girl in
that mirror there
(What mirror, where?)
Who can that
attractive girl be?
(Which, what, where, whom?)
Such a pretty face
Such a pretty dress
Such a pretty smile
Such a pretty me!

MARIA & GIRLS
I feel stunning
And entrancing
Feel like running and
dancing for joy
For I'm loved
By a pretty wonderful boy
