Many moons ago in a far off place[00:03:09]

Lived a handsome prince with a gloomy face[00:03:09]

For he did not have a bride[00:03:09]

Oh, he sighed, "Alas" and he cried, "Alas"[00:03:09]

For alas, the prince couldn't find a lass[00:03:09]

Who would suit his mother's pride[00:03:09]

For a princess is a delicate thing[00:03:09]

Delicate and dainty as a dragonfly's wing[00:03:09]

You can recognize a lady by her elegant air[00:03:09]

But a genuine princess is exceedingly rare[00:03:09]

On a stormy night to the castle door[00:03:09]

Came the lass the prince had been waiting for[00:03:09]

"I'm a princess lost", quoth she[00:03:09]

But the queen was cool and remained aloof[00:03:09]

And she said, "Perhaps, but we'll need some proof[00:03:09]

I'll prepare a test and see"[00:03:09]

"I will test her thus", the old queen said[00:03:09]

"I'll put twenty downy mattresses upon her bed[00:03:09]

And beneath those twenty mattresses, I'll place one tiny pea[00:03:09]

If that pea disturbs her slumber then a true princess is she"[00:03:09]

Now the bed was soft and extremely tall[00:03:09]

But the dainty lass didn't sleep at all[00:03:09]

And she told them so next day[00:03:09]

Said the queen, "My dear, if you felt that pea[00:03:09]

Then we've proof enough of your royalty[00:03:09]

Let the wedding music play"[00:03:09]

And the people shouted quietly, "Hurray!"[00:03:09]

For a princess is a delicate thing[00:03:09]

Delicate and dainty as a dragonfly's wing[00:03:09]

You can recognize a lady by her elegant air[00:03:09]

But a genuine princess is exceedingly rare[00:03:09]
