Lyrics[]

Anna: (spoken) It's a very ancient saying,
But a true and honest thought,
That if you become a teacher,
By your pupils you'll be taught.
(singing) As a teacher I've been learning
(You'll forgive me if I boast)
And I've now become an expert,
On the subject I like most.
(spoken) Getting to know you.
(singing) Getting to know you,
Getting to know all about you.
Getting to like you,
Getting to hope you like me.
Getting to know you,
Putting it my way,
But nicely,
You are precisely,
My cup of tea.
Getting to know you,
Getting to feel free and easy
When I am with you,
Getting to know what to say
Haven't you noticed,
Suddenly I'm bright and breezy?
Because of all the beautiful and new
Things I'm learning about you
Day by day.
Anna and the Royal Children: Getting to know you
Getting to know all about you.
Getting to like you,
Getting to hope you like me.
Getting to know you,
Putting it my way,
Haven't you noticed, but nicely
You are precisely,
My cup of tea.
(Instrumental interlude)
Anna and the Royal Children: Getting to know you,
Getting to feel free and easy
When I am with you,
Getting to know what to say
Haven't you noticed,
Suddenly I'm bright and breezy?
Because of all the beautiful and new
Things I'm learning about you
Day by day.
Anna: Haven't you noticed
Suddenly I'm bright and breezy?
Anna and the Royal Children: Because of all the beautiful and new
Things I'm learning about you
Day .. by ... day.
