Lyrics The Princess Who Saved Herself - Jonathan Coulton

The Princess Who Saved Herself

There was a castle by a waterfall with a pink and purple wall and a princess
living there
She had no parents she was all alone she got by on her own and she liked it
pretty well
'Cause she never wore her socks, she had a pet snake
She bought a red guitar and she ate a whole cake
And there wasn’t anybody there to tell her what to do so she did what she
wanted to
Everybody knew the story of the princess who saved herself
The princess who saved herself
There was a dragon with a pointy tail he was bigger than a whale and his breath
was terrible
He scared the princess when he came around he tried to burn the castle down
Until she caught him by his tail
Then she tied him to a tree so the dragon couldn’t fly
She told him he was mean and it made the dragon cry
When he finally apologized she offered him some tea he accepted it graciously
Now he visits every weekend with the princess who saved herself
The princess who saved herself
The princess who saved herself
There was a witch who was an evil queen she was wrinkled old and green and she
hated everyone
She saw the princess in her silver gown and put the poison apple down
And asked her where she bought her clothes
So they got the witch a dress, put some make-up on her face
They started up a band and the dragon played bass
Every Saturday they play until their fingertips are sore mostly Math Rock and
Cuddle Core
And they call themselves The Kingdom Of The Princess Who Saved Herself
They call themselves The Kingdom Of The Princess Who Saved Herself
And they call themselves The Kingdom Of The Princess Who Saved Herself
They call themselves The Kingdom Of The Princess Who Saved Herself
They call themselves The Kingdom Of The Princess Who Saved Herself
They call themselves The Kingdom Of The Princess Who Saved Herself
They call themselves The Kingdom Of The Princess Who Saved Herself
And they call themselves The Kingdom Of The Princess Who Saved Herself
And they call themselves The Kingdom Of The Princess Who Saved Herself
