I Feel Pretty (West Side Story)

I feel charming,
CONSUELO: This is my last night as a Oh, so charming,
blonde. It's alarming how charming I feel,
And so pretty
ROSALIA: No loss. That I hardly can believe I'm real.

See the pretty girl in that mirror there,


CONSUELO: Again! The fortune-teller told
Who can that attractive girl be?
Pepe a dark lady was coming into
Such a pretty face,
Such a pretty dress,
his life. Such a pretty smile,
Such a pretty me!
ROSALIA: So that's why he's not taking you
out after the rumble! I feel stunning
And entrancing,
MARIA: There is not going to be a rumble. Feel like running
and dancing
ROSALIA: Another fortune-teller. For joy,
For I'm loved by a pretty wonderful boy!
