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!



ROSALIA and CONSUELO

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 Mar-

Ia we know!



Modest and pure

Polite and refined

Well bred and mature

And out of her mind!



(spoken)

Miss America!  Bravo!  Speech!  Speech!



MARIA (sung)

I feel pretty

Oh so pretty

That the city should give me its key

A committee

Should be organised to honour me



ROSALIA and CONSUELO

Lalalala la la la la lala!



MARIA

I feel dizzy

I feel sunny

I feel fizzy and funny and fine

And so pretty

Miss America can just resign



ROSALIA and CONSUELO

Lalalala la la la la lala!



MARIA

See the pretty girl in that mirror there?



ROSALIA and CONSUELO

What mirror where?



MARIA

Who can that attractive girl be?



ROSALIA and CONSUELO

Which?  What?  Where?  Whom?



MARIA

Such a pretty face

Such a pretty dress

Such a pretty smile

Such a pretty me!



ROSALIA and CONSUELO

Such a pretty me!

Such a pretty me!

Such a pretty me!



ALL

I feel stunning

And entrancing

Feel like running and dancing for joy

For I'm loved

By a pretty, wonderful boy!
