Maria's Bedroom - 9:15 p.m.



MARIA (who is getting dressed up to meet Tony):

I feel pretty,

Oh, so pretty,

I feel pretty and witty and bright,

And I pity

Any girl who isn't me tonight.

I feel charming,

Oh, so charming -

It's alarming how charming I feel,

And so pretty

Modest and pure.

Polite and refined.

Well-bred and mature

GIRLS:

I feel dizzy and funny and fine

And so pretty,

Miss America can just resign!



GIRLS:

La, la, la, la...



MARIA:

See the pretty girl in that mirror there:



GIRLS:

What mirror, where?



MARIA:

Who can that attractive
