DAUNTLESS:
Ohhhhh? I liked her!
LARKEN:
So did I.
DAUNTLESS:
Why?
KNIGHTS:
Why?
All:
Why?
DAUNTLESS:
Must every princess get the bird?
LADY ROWENA:
It's just absurd!
LADY AGATHA:
I never heard a test so difficult to pass!
DAUNTLESS:
Alas, a lass is what I lack,
I lack a lass, alas alack.
KNIGHTS:
Throughout the land no one may wed Ladies:
'Til Dauntless shares his marriage bed Ohhh?
LADIES:
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 dilemma 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, bona-fide princess.
LADIES:
Where's the dutiful knight
Who'll right all the wrong
We've been done?
KNIGHTS:
None of the ladies are having any fun.
LADIES:
What to do?
KNIGHTS:
What to do?
LADIES:
What to do?
KNIGHTS:
What to do?
LADIES:
Pity the ladies-in-waiting.
KNIGHTS:
Pity the gentleman too.
LADIES:
Four,
KNIGHTS:
Six,
ALL:
Eight, ten, eleven,
Twelve contenders in a row...
KNIGHTS:
They came, they were tested
LADIES:
Then swiftly requested to go?
LADIES & KNIGHTS:
Oh? Blow
For a princess the trumpet,
Sound the fife!
For a genuine,
Certified princess.
KNIGHTS:
Go and get the prince a royal wife!
LADIES:
Tell us when you intend
To send a girl who can pass
KNIGHTS:
None of the ladies are havin' any?
ALL:
No one is havin' any,
No one is getting any younger,
And it's been God knows how long since
KNIGHTS:
We have an opening for a princessLadies:
For a genuine,
Certified princessWe have an
Opening for a princess
ALL:
We have an opening for a princess
Who's good enough,
Nice enough, sweet enough, smart enough,
Rich enough for our poor prince!
