Maria and her friends sing it in West Side Story
Lyrics are as follows:
MARIA
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
That I hardly can believe I'm real
See the pretty girl in that mirror there?
Who can that attractive girl be?
Such a pretty face
Such a pretty dress
Such a pretty smile
Such a pretty me!
I feel stunning
And entrancing
Feel like running and dancing for joy
For I'm loved
By a pretty, wonderful boy!
ROSALIA and CONSUELO
Have you met my good friend Maria,
The craziest girl on the block?
You'll know her the minute you see her
She's the one who is in an advanced state of shock
She thinks she's in love
She thinks she's in Spain
She isn't in love
She's merely insane
It must be the heat
Or some rare disease
Or too much to eat
Or maybe it's fleas
Keep away from her!
Send for Chino
This is not the Mar-
Ia we know!
Modest and pure
Polite and refined
Well bred and mature
And out of her mind!
(spoken)
Miss America! Bravo! Speech! Speech!
MARIA (sung)
I feel pretty
Oh so pretty
That the city should give me its key
A committee
Should be organised to honour me
ROSALIA and CONSUELO
Lalalala la la la la lala!
MARIA
I feel dizzy
I feel sunny
I feel fizzy and funny and fine
And so pretty
Miss America can just resign
ROSALIA and CONSUELO
Lalalala la la la la lala!
MARIA
See the pretty girl in that mirror there?
ROSALIA and CONSUELO
What mirror where?
MARIA
Who can that attractive girl be?
ROSALIA and CONSUELO
Which? What? Where? Whom?
MARIA
Such a pretty face
Such a pretty dress
Such a pretty smile
Such a pretty me!
ROSALIA and CONSUELO
Such a pretty me!
Such a pretty me!
Such a pretty me!
ALL
I feel stunning
And entrancing
Feel like running and dancing for joy
For I'm loved
By a pretty, wonderful boy!

I Feel Pretty Lyrics

It's a song in "West Side Story"...don't know all the lyrics, but the song is involved in an interesting little controversy right now:
The song begins:
I feel pretty....oh, so pretty....oh, so pretty and witty and gay
But there's currently a television ad out right now, with Maria Sharapova stalking onto a tennis court, and various people...fans, a ball girl, the lines judge...sing this song, sort of in her "honor".
HOWEVER: They don't sing "pretty and witty and gay"....they sing "pretty and witty and brave".
I'll bet you anything in the world the ad agency changed the lyrics because female tennis is notorious for being full of lesbians, and they were afraid of the PC police raising hell about it.

I Feel Pretty from West Side Story...It is sung on screen by Natalie Wood, but Marni Nixon does the actual singing of the song for her...Type "I Feel Pretty lyrics" in the yahoo search bar and you're all set to go
