West Side Story Lyrics
"I Feel Pretty (movie)"

MARIA
I feel pretty
Oh so pretty
I feel pretty, and witty and gay
And I pity
Any girl who isn't me today

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, CONSUELO and FRANCISCA
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

MARIA
La la la!

ROSALIA, CONSUELO AND FRANCISCA
She isn't in love
She's merely insane

ROSALIA
It must be the heat

FRANCISCA
Or some rare disease

MARIA
La la la!

ROSALIA
Or too much to eat

CONSUELO
Or maybe it's fleas

ROSALIA, CONSUELO and FRANCISCA
Keep away from her!
Send for Chino
This is not the Mar-
Ia we know!

Modest and pure
Polite and refined

MARIA
La la la!

ROSALIA, CONSUELO and FRANCISCA
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, CONSUELO and FRANCISCA
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, CONSUELO and FRANCISCA
Lalalala la la la la lala!

MARIA
See the pretty girl in that mirror there?

ROSALIA, CONSUELO and FRANCISCA
What mirror where?

MARIA
Who can that attractive girl be?

ROSALIA, CONSUELO and FRANCISCA
Which? What? Where? Whom?

MARIA
Such a pretty face
Such a pretty dress
Such a pretty smile
Such a pretty me!

ROSALIA, CONSUELO and FRANCISCA
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!
