Marshall Barer — An Opening for a Princess lyrics

Lyrics

Dauntless: «Oh, I liked her!»
Larken: «So did I!»
Dauntless: «Why does ev’ry princess get the bird?»
Lady 1: «It's just absurd!»
Lady 2: «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 til Dauntless shares his marriage
bed!»
Ladies: «Oh, the lonely spinster’s life!»
All: «Go, and get the prince a royal wife!
„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 living in sin!“
All: „We have an opening for a princess, for a beautiful bonifide princess!“
Ladies: Where’s the dutiful knight who’ll right all the wrong we’ve been done?»
Knights: «None of the ladies are havin' 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 gentlemen, too!»
Ladies: «Four!»
Knights: «Six!»
Ladies: «Eight, ten, eleven, twelve contenders in a row!»
Knights: «They came, they were tested…»
Ladies: «Then swifly requested to go for a princess, for a genuine certified
princess.
Knights: Blow the trumpet! Sound the fife!»
Ladies: «Tell us when you intend to send us a girl who can pass!
Knights: «And get the prince a royal wife!»
Knights: «None of the ladies are having any…»
All: «No one is having any…»
All: «No one is getting any… younger!»
All: «And its been god knows how long since!»
All: «We have an opening for a princess whos' good enough, nice enough,
sweet enough, smart enough, rich enough for our poor prince!»
