Each group of letter notes is played from left to right, and vertical letters on the same column are played together.
The numbers in front of each line are the octave, each octave has an unique color so you can easily follow them.
Lowercase (a b c d e f g) letters are natural notes (white keys, a.k.a A B C D E F G ).
Uppercase (A C D F G) letters are the sharp notes (black keys a.k.a. A# C# D# F# G#), look at the image below to see where each letter note is on the piano keyboard.
The lines / dashes (-) between letters indicates timing to play the notes. Just listen to the audio file at the top of the post to figure out the time lenght of the dashes (usually 5-6 dashes is about 1 second)
RH / LH means Right Hand / Left Hand and it's mostly for people who play the piano, it tells them with what hand to play the lines. Also, if you want to play a easy version of the song, playing only the RH lines does exactly that, because on most songs RH notes are for melody and LH notes are for bass.

[JULIAN, spoken]
ReplyDeleteIt's all here in the Princess's Book of Etiquette. Let's begin. No nagging, bragging, sweating, fretting, slipping, tripping, slurping, burping, twittering or frittering allowed. Stay present, stay pleasant, stay proud
(sung)
To be a princess is to know which spoon to use
To be a princess is a thousand pairs of shoes
To maintain a regal gait
Leave the parsley on your plate
And be charming but detached and yet amused
To be a princess is to never be confused
Do a plié and never fall
Don't ever stray from protocol
All through the day there's just one way you must behave
Do keep a grip and never crack
Stiff upper lip and arch the back
Bend from above and always wear your gloves and wave
Shoulders back and
Tummy in and
Pinky out and
Lift the chin and
Slowly turn the head from side to side
[ERIKA]
I see now
[JULIAN]
Breathing gently
Stepping lightly
Smile brightly
Nod politely
Never show a thing you feel inside
Glide!
To be a princess is to always look your best
To be a princess is to never get to rest
Sit for a portrait, never squirm
Sleep on a mattress extra firm
Speak and be clever, never at a loss for words
Curtsey to every count and lord
Learn how to play the harpsichord
Sing lullabies and always harmonize in thirds
[JULIAN & ERIKA]
Thirds, thirds
[JULIAN]
And she has beautiful eyes
Your spirits rise
When she walks in the room
[ERIKA, spoken]
I see
[JULIAN]
Doors close
And the chemistry grows
She's like a rose
That's forever in bloom
Do a plié and don't
[ERIKA]
Ever, ever, ever fall
[JULIAN]
Never show dismay
[ERIKA]
And be there when people call
[JULIAN]
Be prepared whatever royal life will bring
Do keep a grip and don't
[ERIKA]
Ever, ever, ever crack
[JULIAN]
Take a dainty sip
[ERIKA]
Never ever turn your back
[JULIAN]
There's a time and place and way for everything
To be a princess is to never make your bed
To be a princess is to always use your head
