I Feel Pretty

1957 broadway lyrics

MARIAI feel pretty,Oh, so pretty,I feel pretty and witty and bright,And I pityAny girl who isn't me tonight.I feel charming,Oh, so charming,It's alarming how charming I feel,And so prettyThat 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 stunningAnd entrancing,Feel like runningand dancingFor joy,For I'm loved by a pretty wonderful boy!ROSALIA, CONSUELOHave 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 heatOr some rare disease,Or too much to eatOr maybe it's fleas.Keep away from her—Send for Chino!This is not the Mar—Ia we know!Modest and pure,Polite and refined,Well-bred and mature,And out of her mind!MARIAI feel pretty,Oh, so prettyThat the city should give me its key.A committeeShould be organized to honor 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!ROSALIA, CONSUELOWhat mirror where?MARIAWho can that attractive girl be?ROSALIA AND CONSUELOWhich? What? Where? Whom?MARIASuch a pretty face,Such a pretty dress,Such a pretty smile,Such a pretty me!ALLI feel stunningAnd entrancing,Feel like running and dancing for joy,For I'm lovedBy a pretty wonderful boy!
