[grimsby]
Welcome, dear friends, to our contest
The first that this kingdom has ever seen!
We gather today for a vocal display
So our prince may at last choose a queen!

(spoken)
These six princesses possess the most accomplished voices in all the land!
Tonight, one of you will go home with the crown!
May the best woman win!

[PRINCESS 1]
Listen to me
Don't I sound rich?
Loud, am I not?
Plus, I've got perfect pitch
Wouldn't you think I'm the girl
The girl who has everything?

[PRINCE ERIC, Spoken]
That's not her voice
I'll know it the moment I hear it

[PRINCESS 2]
Listen to this
Clear as can be!
You'll know I'm it
When I hit my high C! Ah!

[PRINCESS 3]
Wouldn't you think I'm the girl
The girl who has everything?
Everything! Everything!

[PRINCESS 4]
I'm a world-famous coloratura!

[PRINCESS 5]
My vibrato is second to none!

[PRINCESS 6]
I'm a walking display of bravura!

[princesses]
It's so clear
Can't you hear?

[PRINCESS 5]
I'm the one!

[PRINCESS 1]
I'm the one!

[PRINCESS 4]
I'm the one!

[PRINCESSES 3 & 6]
I'm the one!

[princesses]
I'm the one!
