Is giving a ball

Now is the time, the time to act

No other time will do

Live and play your part, don't give away your heart

Don't take what the world gives you

Now is the time, the time to live

No other time is real

Yesterday has gone, tomorrow is a guess

Today you can see and feel

For you can't just wait to be served by fate

On a silver plate or a tray

Now is the time, the time of your life

The time of your life is today

The Prince is giving a ball

Hear ye! Hear ye! A ball and that's not all

The Prince is giving a ball

The Prince is giving a ball

His Majesty has this decree

To attend the ball, all one requires is an invitation

And suitably fashionable attire

And the Prince shall choose a woman from the ball to be his bride

That means anyone can be the queen!

So will he want a taller girl?

Or will he want a stronger girl?

Or will he want a smaller girl?

The Prince is giving a ball

I wish I were a bolder girl

I wish I were a younger girl

I wish I were an older girl

The Prince is giving a ball

I've wished a lot of things, I don't wish anymore

But now I wish a lot of things I've never wished before

I wish I had, I wish I could

I wish I might, I wish I would

I wish I were invited to the Prince's Royal Palace ball

He's giving a ball, he's giving a ball

The Prince is giving a ball

Now is the time, the time to act

We hear ye, we hear ye, but the Prince is giving a ball

Now is the time, the time to live

We hear ye, we hear ye but His Royal Highness Christopher Rupert James is giving a ball
