We feel pretty
Oh, so pretty
We are pretty and witty and gay
Oh so pretty
That we’re girls; oh what can I say
We feel charming
Oh so charming
We feel charming and alarming tee hee
We’re a couple just her and just me
I feel sunny
I feel dizzy, and funny, and fine
And so honored
That this girl should want to be mine
We feel pretty
Oh, so pretty
We are happy as happy can be
I’m delighted
That this girl should be in love with me
See those pretty girls in that mirror there
What mirror, where?
Who can that attractive girls be?
Which? What? Where? Whom?
Such a pretty face
Such a pretty dress
Such a pretty smile
Such a pretty me!
Such a pretty her!
Such a pretty her and me!
I feel stunning (We feel stunning)
And entrancing (and entrancing)
Feel like running and dancing for joy
For she loves me
even though I began as a boy!
Based on I Feel Pretty
from the Musical and Motion Picture
West Side Story

pretty little piece, Drea
huggles!
West Side Story (1961 Version)
For me, the greatest American Musical ever.
From the beginning, with the Jets and the Sharks and the ensemble dancing to this stunning scene, and 'America' with Rita Moreno and George Chakiris, and those wonderful dresses, to the tragic end, which still reduces me to tears, even now.
My sister has a mustache
My brother wears a dress
Gee, Officer Krupke
No wonder I'm a mess
So it even has some transgender aspect!
Thanks for reminding us, 'Drea.
Love it, ‘Drea!
And you there, the prettiest of all!
