Simple Joys of Maidenhood
(from "Camelot")

Mon
Mothma, Mon Mothma,
It's Princess Leia, remember me?
Mon
Mothma, Mon Mothma,
I'm over here, and this can't be.
You know
how faithful and devout I am,
But this arranged marriage is a
scam.
But Mothma, Mon
Mothma,
I won't obey you anymore;
You've gone a bit too far.
I
won't be married off to him
Like a bride at some bazaar.
Mon Mothma, I've run
away.
Eluded them and fled.
And from now on I intend to work
for
Someone else instead.
Mon Mothma, Mon
Mothma,
Where were you when my youth was sowed?
Dear Mothma,
sweet Mothma,
Shan't I be young before I'm old?
Where are the simple
joys of maidenhood?
Where are all those adoring, darling
boys?
Where's the knight pining so for me
He leaps to death in
woe for me?
Oh, where are a maiden's simple joys?
Shan't I have the
normal life a maiden should?
Shall I never be rescued in the
wood?
Shall two men never fight for me
And always do what's
right for me?
Oh, where are the simple joys of maidenhood?
Shall I not be on a
pedestal
Worshipped and competed for?
Not be carried off, or
better still
Cause a little war?
Where are the simple
joys of maidenhood?
Are these sweet gentle pleasures gone for
good?
Shall a feud not begin for me?
Shall Sith not kill their
kin for me?
Oh, where are the trivial joys?
Harmless convivial
joys?
Where are the simple joys of maidenhood?
