The Princess Who Saved Herself - Jonathan Coulton

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
