Текст песни An Opening for a Princess - The Original Broadway Cast

Oh...
I liked her!

So, did I

Why does every princess get the bird?

It's just absurd

I never heard a test so difficult to pass

Alas! Alas is what I lack
I lack, alas, alas, alack!

Throughout the land, no one may wed
'Til Dauntless shares his marriage bed

Oh...
The lonely spinster's life

Go
And get the prince a royal wife

We have an opening for a princess
Or a genuine, certified princess

Tell us when you intend to end this dilemma we're in

None of the ladies give a fig for livin' in sin

We have an opening for a princess
For a beautiful, bonafide princess

Where's the dutiful knight who'll write all the wrong we've been done?

None of the ladies are having any fun

What to do?

What to do? (What to do)

Pity the ladies in waiting
Pity the gentleman too

4, 6, 8, 10, 11, 12 contenders in a row

They came, they were tested

Then swiftly requested to go
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!)

None of the ladies are having any

No one is having any
No one is getting any younger
And it's been "God knows how long since"
We have an opening for a princess
Who's good enough, nice enough, sweet enough, smart enough, rich enough
For our poor prince
