Life After Happily Ever After

This is life after happily ever after
And it's all just as sweet as the stories say
I feel wild, free, as like as can be
And ready to explore
With nothing at all standing in my way

True there are certain customs I have to follow (curtsy)
Several small obligations I can't avoid (Princess, the time)
A few rules too
Well, more than a few
Commitments by the score
Aside from all that though I'm overjoyed (this way, Princess)

And sure there are corsets and buckles and baws
Plus all those names to recall
(Jane?)
(Ethel)
(Right)
Still I can hardly complain I suppose
This is happily ever after, after all

That's enough, I'll take it from here
How you holding up?
Busy
But busy is good
I'm glad you think so, Raps
'Cause this welcoming ceremony is just the beginning

Tomorrow's the festival, followed by the royal banquet
And that's all before the actual coronation on Sunday
Oh, come on, really?
Look, Rapunzel, I know this princess thing is new to you
But you've got to at least try to act the part
Trust me, Cassandra
I know how important this is to my dad

As you've requested, Your Majesty
We've doubled security on both the main gates and the south towers
Good, we have guests from all over the world
I want them to know that they are safe
Everything for my little girl's coronation weekend must be absolutely perfect

Hi, dad
And now that at last you are here in my arms
I won't permit you to fall
I must protect you from all the world's harms
We'll live happily ever after, after all

Now, as princess, you are not only representing yourself and the family
But all of Corona
Don't worry Dad, I won't let you down
But while we're on the whole princess, coronation thingy
I mean, all these royal activities are great
But do you think I might be able to catch a little downtime soon?

I know this is all new, but you'll adjust
After all, your friend seems to be getting on just fine

Ooh-hoo-hoo, Helmut, my man
This hat ties the whole outfit together
Now, I know what you're all thinking
"Why is Eugene in such a good mood today?"
"I mean, what gives?"

Now that we're living splendorly
Our dreams fulfilled extendedly
Why leave things open endedly
For Rapunzel and moi?
Tonight I'll hand this rose to her
Kneel down and then propose to her
And give this ring I chose to her (nice)

Life's gonna be like strawberry sherbet
Once she is Mrs Eugene Fitzherbert
Okay, not great, but how about this?
Once she is Princess Eugene Fitzherbert
And what better day to propose to a princess than at her coronation?

This is life after happily ever after
And our story has finally reached it's end
Settling down here
Year upon year
Contented and secure
With dozen of duties we'll have to tend
And now that we've gotten the dream that we chose
Now that we're in for the haul
Now our adventures can come to a close
Living happily ever after, after all

Now that I've gotten the dream that I choose
Why does my world feel so small?
If this is it
And it is I suppose
Is this happily ever after, after all?

Okay, no pressure
Just introducing myself to the most important people in the world
Representing my mom, dad and the entire kingdom
We got this
