An Opening for a Princess
Oh I liked her
So did I!
Why must every princess get the bird?
Alas a lass is what I lack
I lack a lass, alas alack
Knights: Ladies:
Throuought the land
No one may wed till
Dauntless shares hisOh-------
Marriage bed!
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 dillemma 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 wrongs we've been done?
None of the ladies are havin' any fun!
Ladies: Knights:
What to do
What to do
What to do
What to do
Pity the ladies in waiting
Pity the gentlemen too (or two)
Four
Six
Eight
Ten eleven twelve contenders in a row
They came, they were tested
Then swiftly requested to go
For a pricess
For a genuine certified princess
Tell us when you intend Ohh-
To send us a girl who can pass something...
Go and get the price a royal wife
None of the ladies are havin' any
No one is havin' any
No one is gettin' any younger
And it's been god-knows-how-long since
We've had an opening for a princess
Who's good enough,
Nice enough,
Sweet enough,
Smart enough,
Rich enough for our poor prince.
So did I!
Why must every princess get the bird?
Alas a lass is what I lack
I lack a lass, alas alack
Knights: Ladies:
Throuought the land
No one may wed till
Dauntless shares hisOh-------
Marriage bed!
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 dillemma 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 wrongs we've been done?
None of the ladies are havin' any fun!
Ladies: Knights:

Who's good enough,
Nice enough,
Sweet enough,
