Worthy Queen of Greatness: Lyrics
Do You Want to Build a Snowman?
By Anne B. Walsh
Yes, this can indeed be sung to the tune of the song from Frozen. If anyone cares to record it and share the files, I certainly wouldn't mind, though that final verse is going to need to be speeded up a good bit...
Anna: (spoken) Elsa?
(sung) Do you want to build a snowman?
Come on, let’s go and play…
Elsa: Oh, Anna, please, I almost had it then!
How can I practice when
You’re always in the way?
Anna: I know we both have lessons,
But I’m done with mine,
And I want to play with you!
Do you want to build a snowman?
It doesn’t have to be a snowman…
Elsa: Yes, I do.
(spoken) Go get your snow things on, all right?
Elsa: All right, it’s time to build a snowman,
Freeze all the water I can find…
The trouble is, it’s very easy to
Make a mistake when you
Have so much on your mind!
(spoken) How do you do it, Mother?
Brigitta: I smile and remember
That when times are hard,
All we can do is try…
(spoken) And it’s time for you to try again.
Elsa: Anna, come with me, I’ll show you
A secret I have kept inside,
It’s why I sometimes don’t have much to say,
Why just the other day
I ran away to hide…
Did that hurt you?
Anna: Some.
Elsa: I’m sorry,
But you’ll understand
When I show my gift to you…
Anna: (spoken) Gift? Elsa, what gift?
Elsa: (spoken) Watch…
(sung) Do you want to build a snowman?
Anna: Yes, I do!
Next up in the movie is "For the First Time in Forever", which I am renaming "We Will Always Have Each Other" and serving up as a duet for Elsa and Anna, since um, hello, Disney. You have Idina Menzel as your Snow Queen. Why does she only get one and three-quarter songs?
And yes, all right, the one song was "Let It Go" which is absolutely spectacular (and the reason Elsa is not a villain -- I'm serious, look it up), but she should have had more to do. So, I'm imagining she does. You'll see what that's like as soon as I get there.
