A Word For The Princess



Snow White, the dumb bunny

She opened the door

And, found it not funny

When she fell to the floor



Ashputtle cried and wept all night long

'Til two turtle doves heard her very sad song

"Don't weep lovely lady, what we tell you is true,

True love you will find in the form of a shoe"

Rapunzel, Rapunzel she let down her hair

But soon it was hacked and her prince was not there

Her mother had left her and children she bore

Rapunzel had sold herself off as a whore



When Gretchen, or Gretel, can't think of the name

Saved her fat brother from famine and shame

A "thank you" was all she received in her name

She found the dead witch was really quite lame



Beauty was fair or so her father thought so

And it was also her fault he was treated so low

She packed all her bags to move in with a man

Who had thick, thick brown fur on the palm of his hand



Red Riding Hood found the wolf was quite kind

You would think the dumb girl is out of her mind

She thought "take him in and try something new"

But, he took her in... and grandmother too



The miller's dear daughter didn't know how to sew

But it couldn't hurt daddy if he didn't know

Of course Pop told the king who made her spin gold

And to the queer little man her baby was sold



Briar Rose pricked herself, though not on a thorn

The hundred years sleep left her "dead" and forlorn

A cute little fairy befuddled the spell

Thank god the kind princess didn't go straight to hell



Their Princes would come (fathers come, too)

And help find the confidence they need to get through

So don't open the door or trust the dope in the woods

You'll find that with them you won't get the goods



The step mom is tolerable

The stepsisters, too

But, there's only one person who'll make your wish true

It isn't in a coffin of glass or gold

It isn't in the palace of a giant old



Don't eat the apple the old crone can give

Follow that bit and you'll fin you can live

Don't waste your time on two vicious doves

If you do it all that way you can't find true love



Daddy don't love you

Forget the Prince, too

If you have to trust someone

It should be you

Fairies are great yellow pumpkins are, too

But, sleep tight little princess you only need you
