Lyrics
There's a princess in a tower
Oh my gosh that's just like me
Poor Rapunzel needs a haircut
But the witch won't set her free
She passes time by singing
Like someone else I know
As years go by she sits and waits
As years go by uh oh
A torturous existence
I don't remember this part!
She wishes she were dead
Skip ahead skip ahead!
But in the end Rapunzel finds a millionaire
The prince is good at climbing and braiding golden hair!
So I know, he'll appear
Cause there are rules and there are strictures
I believe the storybooks I read by candlelight
My white knight, and his steed
Will look just like these pictures!
It won't be long now, I guarantee!
Day number 23
I know its today
I know its today
There's a princess in a coma
Glad it's her instead of me
Pretty maiden in a glass box
How I wonder does she pee?
Blah blah blah, poison apple
Boring boring evil queen
Filler filler, been there, read that
Seven shorties on the scene
Skip ahead, skip ahead
But in the end the princess wakes up with a start
The prince is good at kissing
And melting Snow White's heart!
So I know, he'll appear
And his armour will be blinding!
As shining as his perfect teeth and manly hose
He'll propose
On one knee
And our prenup will be binding!
About time we set the wedding date!
Day number 958
I know it's today
He'll show up today
There's a princess any princess
Take your pick, they're all like me
Not exactly, I'm still waiting
They're out living happily
Ever after better get here
I want love in seconds flat
No one needs these middle bits
Oops, did I do that
Cut the villains, cut the vamping
Cut this fairytale
Cut the peril and the pitfalls
Cut the puppet and the whale
Cut the monsters, cut the curses
Keep the intro, cut the verses
And the waiting, the waiting, the waiting, the waiting
The waiting!
But I know, he'll appear
Though I seem a bit bipolar
And I'm a vandal now as well, though he won't mind
I'm a find, I'm a catch
And a very gifted bowler!
It won't be long now, I guarantee!
Day number
Are you there God?
It's me Fiona
It's me Fiona!
Now I know, he'll appear
Cause there are rules and there are strictures
I believe the storybooks I read by candlelight
My white knight, my knight and his steed
Will look just like these pictures!
It won't be long now, I guarantee!
Day number 23
Day number 958
Day number 8423
I know its today, oooo
I know its today, oooo
I know its today, oooo
I know its today, oooo
I know its today, oooo
I know it's today
I know it's today!
