An Opening for a Princess

Oh...

I liked her!

So did I

Why (Why, why, why)

Must every princess get the bird?

It's just absurd!

I never heard a test so difficult to pass!

Alas! A lass is what I lack

I lack a lass; Alas! Alack!

Throughout the land, no one may wed

'Til Dauntless shares his marriage bed

Oh...

The lonely spinster's life!

Go?...

And get the prince a royal wife!

We have an opening for a princess

For a genuine, certified princess

Tell us when you intend to end this dilemma we're in!

None of the ladies give a fig for livin' in sin!

We have an opening for a princess

For a beautiful, bonafide princess

Where's the dutiful knight who'll right all the wrong we've been done?

None of the ladies are having any fun!

What to do?

What to do?

What to do?

What to do?

Pity the ladies in waiting

Pity the gentlemen too!

Four!

Six!

Eight, ten, eleven, twelve contenders in a row!

They came, they were tested

Then swiftly requested to go?... (Blow the trumpet!)

For a princess

For a genuine, certified princess. (Sound the fife!)

Tell us when you intend to send us a girl who can pass! (Go and get the prince a royal wife!)

None of the ladies are having any--

No one is having any

No one is getting any--younger

And it's been God knows how long since!

We have an opening for a princess

For a genuine, certified princess (We have an opening for a princess)

We have an opening for a princess

Who's good enough, nice enough, sweet enough, smart enough, rich enough

For our poor prince!
