Once Upon A Mattress soundtrack – Ensemble - Opening For A Princess lyrics

Album: Once Upon A Mattress

Dauntless:
Oh I liked her
Larken:
So did I!
Dauntless:
Why must every princess get the bird?
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 end this dillemma we're in
Knights:
None of the ladies give
a fig for livin' in sin
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 Ohh-----------
to send us a girl who can pass something...
Go and get the price a royal wife
Knights:
None of the ladies are havin' any
All:
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.
