I feel Pretty

I feel pretty
Oh, so pretty
I feel pretty and witty and bright.
And I pitty
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 believe I'm real

See the pretty girl in that mirror there:
Who can that attractive girl be ?
Such a pretty girl
Such a pretty dress
Such a pretty smile
Such a pretty me

I feel stunning
And entrancing
Fell like running and dancing for Joy,
For I'm loved
By a pretty wonderful boy.

who sings it? thanks for the words.

OP posts:

It's from West Side Story, so I think a few people would have sung it. It's just what I googled.

womblingalong · 02/08/2006 10:06

In West Side Story sung by Maria (Natalie Wood) in the movie, and the chorus Anita (Rita Moreno) plus a couple of others

I met my wonderful DH on a dating site so it can definitely work out.

Maybe jumping ahead here but if you are meeting anyone on a date my top tip is to make it lunch or drinks or something short. That way if it doesn't work out you haven't got too many embarassing silences. Oh and don't waste time on blokes who are really keen to email, text and phone but reluctant to meet up in real life.

Fingers crossed for you, its lots of fun.

bluejelly · 02/08/2006 16:34

Good luck JJ let us know how you get on

jellyjelly · 02/08/2006 22:10

thanks for the tip, will take advice given. I got another message today from one i emailed yesterday which is good. Taking it as a bit of a laugh and if anything happens great.
