A long long time away
In a castle deep in the woods
There lived a young prince
‘N he was quite the goods
In a castle deep in the woods
There lived a young prince
‘N he was quite the goods
His frame was a sight to behold
Both muscular & lithe at once
Bronzed like the Greeks of old
Burnished by a thousand suns
Both muscular & lithe at once
Bronzed like the Greeks of old
Burnished by a thousand suns
O but hearts did rise & flutter
When he did deign to smile
‘N village belles & princesses alike
Trekked from across a million miles
When he did deign to smile
‘N village belles & princesses alike
Trekked from across a million miles
They came to win his hand
Make him theirs for all to see
Riches & skill & smarts they had
N at times a bit of coquetry
Make him theirs for all to see
Riches & skill & smarts they had
N at times a bit of coquetry
But the prince was adamant
Wanting to feel the feel of love
A woman who above all else
Would fit him like a velvet glove
Wanting to feel the feel of love
A woman who above all else
Would fit him like a velvet glove
But woman after woman came
None could prove to be that match
Doleful sat his highness all day
What a fate for such a catch!
None could prove to be that match
Doleful sat his highness all day
What a fate for such a catch!
But he had no idea about
His vile & evil step-father
Who so jealous of his allure
Worked himself into a lather
His vile & evil step-father
Who so jealous of his allure
Worked himself into a lather
His worthless sons, one fat one bald
Spent all their time at the races
He wanted the same applause for them
Renown from the same high places
Spent all their time at the races
He wanted the same applause for them
Renown from the same high places
So he hatched a plot to poison
His hotness, our prince so fine
Figuring with him gone forever
His sons would be next in line
His hotness, our prince so fine
Figuring with him gone forever
His sons would be next in line
Our prince had a chambermaid
A girl as plain as plain can be
She overheard step daddy talk
Airily to his sons at tea
A girl as plain as plain can be
She overheard step daddy talk
Airily to his sons at tea
She was quite clever though
She made a counter plan
‘N as a preventive measure she
Poisoned them with homemade jam
She made a counter plan
‘N as a preventive measure she
Poisoned them with homemade jam
She put paid to the evil trio
But our prince with a heart of gold
Stood weeping over their bodies
She then decided he must be told
But our prince with a heart of gold
Stood weeping over their bodies
She then decided he must be told
But not as a mere chambermaid
She came out of her disguise
For she was a beautiful princess
As brave as clever as tall as wise
She came out of her disguise
For she was a beautiful princess
As brave as clever as tall as wise
She opened her heart to our prince
‘N he was stunned at first
But he realized something
- she was the answer to his thirst
‘N he was stunned at first
But he realized something
- she was the answer to his thirst
She, who went the extra mile
To save him from his fate
Had to be his one true love
His savior, his soul-mate
To save him from his fate
Had to be his one true love
His savior, his soul-mate
So our hunkilicious prince of yore
Finally found his match divine
Together they ruled their kingdoms
With her wisdom & his grace benign
Finally found his match divine
Together they ruled their kingdoms
With her wisdom & his grace benign
