I Feel Pretty
[MARÍA]
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 that 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
[ROSALÍA]
Have you met my good friend María?
[LUZ]
The craziest girl on the block?
[ROSALÍA]
You'll know her the minute you see her
[LUZ]
She's the one who is in
An advanced state of shock
[PROVI & MECHE]
She thinks she's in love
She thinks she's in Spain
[LUZ]
Ay, she isn't in love
[FAUSTA]
She's merely insane
[PROVI & MECHE]
It must be the heat
[CHARITA]
Or some rare disease?
[PROVI & MECHE]
Or too much to eat
[MARÍA]
Or maybe it's fleas!
[LUZ]
Keep away from her
[ROSALÍA]
Send for Chino
[LUZ & ROSALÍA]
This is not the María we know
[LLUVIA]
Modest and pure
[ROSALÍA, CHARITA]
Polite and refined
[FAUSTA]
Well-bred and mature
[WOMEN]
And out of her mind!
[PROVI, MECHE, spoken]
Miss America!
A speech, a speech, ¡por favor! ¡Que hable!
[MARÍA]
I feel pretty
Oh, so pretty
That the city should give me its key
A committee
Should be organized to honor me
[LUZ/MECHE/PROVI]
La-la-la-la la la la la la-la
[MARÍA]
I feel dizzy
I feel sunny
I feel fizzy and funny and fine
And so pretty
Miss America can just resign!
[WOMEN]
La-la-la-la la la la la la-la la-la
[MARÍA]
See that pretty girl in that mirror there?
[ROSALÍA]
What mirror where?
[MARÍA]
Who can that attractive girl be?
[CHARITA]
Which?
[LUZ]
What?
[LLUVIA]
Where?
[WOMEN]
Whom?
[MARÍA, WOMEN]
Such a pretty face (Whom?)
Such a pretty dress (Whom?)
Such a pretty smile (Whom?)
Such a pretty me
[WOMEN]
Such a pretty me
Such a pretty me
Such a pretty me
[MARÍA, WOMEN]
I feel stunning (I feel stunning)
And entrancing (And entrancing)
Feel like running and dancing for joy (Feel like running and dancing for joy)
[MARÍA & WOMEN]
For I'm loved
By a pretty wonderful boy
