Once Upon A Mattress movie - Opening for a Princess lyrics

rate me

Song by Ensemble<br />

Dauntless:

Oh I liked her

Larken:

So did I!

Dauntless:

Why must every princess be deterred?

Lady:

(spoken)It's just absurd!

Lady:

(spoken)I've never heard a test so difficult to pass!

Dauntless:

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 his Oh-------

marriage bed!

The lonely spinster's life!

Go and get the prince a royal wife!

All:

We have an opening for a princess

for a genuine certified princess

Ladies:

tell us when you intend

to send us a girl who can pass?

Knights:

None of the ladies give

are having any fun

All:

We have an opening for a princess

For a beautiful, bonafide princess

Ladies:

Where's the dutiful Knight

who'll right all the wrongs we've been done?

Knights:

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

All:

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

Ladies: Knights:

tell us when you intend Sounds of fife!

to send us a girl who can pass

Knights:

None of the ladies are at the alter

All:

no one is at the alter

No one is growin' any younger

and it's been who-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.
