An Opening for a Princess

[DAUNTLESS]
Oh...
I liked her!
[LARKEN]
So did I
[DAUNTLESS]
Why does every princess get the bird?
[LADY MERRILL]
It's just absurd
[LADY ROWENA]
I never heard a test so difficult to pass
[DAUNTLESS]
Alas! A lass is what I lack
I lack a lass; Alas! Alack!
[KNIGHTS]
Throughout the land no one may wed
'Til Dauntless shares his marriage bed
[LADIES]
Oh...
The lonely spinster's life
[ALL]
Go...
And get the prince a royal wife
We have an opening for a princess
A genuine, certified princess
[LADIES]
Tell us when you intend to end this dilemma we're in
[KNIGHTS]
None of the ladies give a fig for livin' in sin!
[ALL]
We have an opening for a princess
For a beautiful, bonafide princess
[LADIES]
Where's the dutiful knight who'll right all the wrong we've been done?
[KNIGHTS]
None of the ladies are having any fun
[LADIES]
What to do?
[KNIGHTS]
What to do?
[LADIES]
What to do?
[KNIGHTS]
What to do?
[LADIES]
Pity the ladies in waiting
[KNIGHTS]
Pity the gentlemen too!
[LADIES]
Four!
[KNIGHTS]
Six!
[ALL]
Eight, ten, eleven, twelve contenders in a row
[KNIGHTS]
They came; they were tested;
[LADIES, (KNIGHTS)]
Then swiftly requested to go... (Blow the trumpet!)
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!)
[KNIGHTS]
None of the ladies are having any--
[ALL]
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!
