good songs

i'm just like you.

Anneliese (speaking):

I'm savoring a first, and last, taste of freedom before getting married next week to a total stranger...

Erika (speaking):

At least you're not an indentured servant...

Anneliese (speaking):

"Indentured servant"?

Erika (singing):

If I'd like to have my breakfast hot

Madame Carp will make me pay!

And I have to fetch the eggs myself

And the barn's a mile away!

It's cold and wet and still I get

An omelet on my plate,

But in my head I'm back in bed

Snuggled up and sleeping late!

Anneliese (speaking):

Really?

Erika (speaking):

Really, but its alright. I mean, I'm used to it.

And you?

Anneliese (speaking):

Well...

Erika (speaking):

Well?

Anneliese (singing):

If I want some eggs I ring the bell

And the maid comes running in,

And she serves them on a silver tray

And she brings a cookie tin!

And while I eat, she rubs my feet

And strolling minstrels play

But I'd rather be in my library reading science books all day!

Erika (singing):

I'm just like you...

Anneliese (speaking):

You are?

Erika (singing):

You're just like me.

There's somewhere else we'd rather be.

Somewhere that's ours,

Somewhere that dreams come true,

Yes, I am a girl like you!

You'd never think that it was so,

But now I've met you and I know.

It's plain as day, sure as the sky is blue

That I am a girl like you!

Anneliese (speaking):

So, you're a singer?

Erika (speaking):

No, I work at Madame Carp's penitentiary— uh, I mean "Dress Emporium".

Anneliese (speaking):

I love Madame Carp's Dresses!

Erika (speaking):

I made the one you're wearing!

Anneliese (speaking):

You made this? Its my favorite! The design looks so complicated!

Erika (speaking):

Oh, but it isn't really...
Singing):

First I choose a fabric from the rack

And I pin the pattern down,

And I stitch it in the front and back

And it turns into a gown!

Anneliese (singing):

I wear the gown, without my crown

And dance around my room

Singing together:

And imagine life without the strife

Of an unfamiliar groom!

Anneliese (speaking):

But I'd never let my Mother know.

I wouldn't want to disappoint her.

Erika (speaking):

I completely understand.

Anneliese (singing):

I'm just like you!

Erika (singing):

I think that's true!

Anneliese (singing):

You're just like me,

Erika (singing):

Yes I can see!

Singing together:

We take responsibility!

Anneliese (singing):

We carry through...

Erika (singing):

We carry through...

Singing together:

Do what we need to do,

Yes, I am a girl like you!

Erika (singing):

I'm just like you...

Anneliese (singing):

I'm just like you...

Erika (singing):

You're just like me...

Anneliese (singing):

You're just like me...

Singing together:

It's something anyone can see!

Anneliese (singing):

A heart that beats...

Erika (singing):

A heart that beats...

Singing together:

A voice that speaks the truth!

Yes, I am a girl like you!
