The Princess and the Knight

[Instrumental] [Spoken] (Long ago and far away, There lived a princess Who dreamed of something more She dreamed of something more) [Verse 1] Staring out of the window view She saw the knight coming closer He came for her, she already knew Her beloved, here to hold her Wearing her pretty green dress She ran down the stairs to meet him He asked for marriage, she said yes Happily, ever after happens on a whim [Spoken] (The knight was brave She was not afraid But was this what she really wanted? This wasn’t what she wanted) [Verse 2] The princess gave him a drink She mixed in something strong He fell fast asleep within a blink She put on his armor and ran along On his horse she rode, holding his sword Leading the horse, they galloped far To the dragon she ran toward She didn’t want her beloved to fall [Chorus] The princess and the knight Was to live happily ever after She tricked him to save his life Would he wake up and realize Realize she was gone Taking his armor to fight Riding to the cave beyond To slay the dragon that night [Spoken] (The princess rode on Till morning came She came to a cave A loud roar came from inside She was going inside) [Verse 3] It was dark, she couldn’t see Holding the candle for light She entered and went beneath Hands clenching the sword tight Into the dark earth she went Holding her breath locked in her chest Spiraling downward in her descent She took a breath, hoping to do her best [Spoken] (The dragon was there Sleeping, snoring loudly She walked slowly toward him Sword held high, ready to strike She was ready to strike) [Verse 4] One dragon eye opened to see her The candle fell, his mouth opened wide She gasped, raising the sword further With his tongue, he knocked her aside The princess fell and hit the wall The helmet knocked off with ease The dragon puffed out a fireball He squinted his eyes, displeased [Chorus] The princess and the knight Was to live happily ever after She tricked him to save his life Would he wake up and realize Realize she was gone Taking his armor to fight Riding to the cave beyond To slay the dragon that night [Spoken] (The princess stood The dragon stared Was she brave No, she must’ve been crazy to fight him She was crazy to fight him) [Verse 5] The dragon questioned why she was there She gasped, him talking was a surprise He asked her if she had any fear She said she was there to save her knight This isn’t a fairy tale, he told her There was a wrong and a right She thought she came to save another But she didn’t need to fight [Spoken] (The princess ashamed Cut her long golden hair Gave it to the dragon And to him she apologized She apologized to him) [Verse 6] He added her hair to his stash of gold She bowed and bided him farewell Live your life freely, he proposed She understood now, this wasn’t a fairy tale Off she went, back to her castle Where her knight was still asleep She wanted no more battles her if she had any fear She said she was there to save her knight This isn’t a fairy tale, he told her There was a wrong and a right She thought she came to save another But she didn’t need to fight [Spoken] (The princess ashamed Cut her long golden hair Gave it to the dragon And to him she apologized She apologized to him) [Verse 6] He added her hair to his stash of gold She bowed and bid him farewell Live your life freely, he proposed She understood now, this wasn’t a fairy tale Off she went, back to her castle Where her knight was still asleep She wanted no more battles Happily, ever after was hers to keep [Chorus] The princess and the knight Was to live happily ever after She tricked him to save his life Would he wake up and realize Realize she was gone Taking his armor to fight Riding to the cave beyond To slay the dragon that night [Spoken] (The princess returned Her knight was safe The dragon was happy She no longer dreamed of more She wanted nothing more) [Spoken] (Long ago and far away, There lived a princess Who dreamed of nothing more She dreamed of nothing more) [Instrumental] [Ending] [End] [Chorus] The princess and the knight Was to live happily ever after She tricked him to save his life Would he wake up and realize Realize she was gone Taking his armor to fight Riding to the cave beyond To slay the dragon that night [Chorus] The princess and the knight Was to live happily ever after She tricked him to save his life Would he wake up and realize Realize she was gone Taking his armor to fight Riding to the cave beyond To slay the dragon that night [Chorus] The princess and the knight Was to live happily ever after She tricked him to save his life Would he wake up and realize Realize she was gone Taking his armor to fight Riding to the cave beyond To slay the dragon that night [Instrumental] [Ending] [End]
