An Opening for a Princess

Lyrics

[DAUNTLESS] Oh... I liked her! [LARKEN] So did I [DAUNTLESS, COMPANY] Why (Why, why, why) Must every princess get the bird? [LADY MERRILL] It's just absurd! [LADY ROWENA] 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 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 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 gentlemen too! [LADIES] Four! [KNIGHTS] Six! [ALL] Eight, ten, eleven, twelve contenders in a row! [KNIGHTS] They came, they were tested [LADIES, KNIGHTS] Then swiftly requested to go?... (Blow the trumpet!) For a princess For a genuine, certified princess. (Sound the fife!) Tell us when you intend to send us a girl who can pass! (Go and get the prince a royal wife!) [KNIGHTS] None of the ladies are having any-- [ALL] No one is having any No one is getting any--younger And it's been God knows how long since! [KNIGHTS, LADIES] We have an opening for a princess For a genuine, certified princess (We 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!
