Adam Guettel - Opening For A Princess Lyrics

Opening for a Princess Lyrics[DAUNTLESS]
Oh!
I liked her

[LARKEN]
So did I

[DAUNTLESS]
Why
Must every princess get the bird?

[LADY ROWENA, spoken]
It's just absurd!

[LADY AGATHA, spoken]
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!

(Dauntless, disconsolate, leaves)

[ALL]
We have an opening for a princess
For 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 living in sin!

[ALL]
We have an opening for a princess
For a beautiful, bona fide 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 gentleman too

[LADIES]
Four—

[KNIGHTS]
Six—

[ALL]
Eight, ten, eleven, twelve
Contenders in a row

[KNIGHTS]
They came
They were tested

[LADIES, KNIGHTS & BOTH]
Then swiftly requested to go! (Ooh)
For a princess
For a genuine, certified princess (Sound the fife!)
Tell us when you intend to send us a girl who can pass!
/i>(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!

[KNIGHTS, LADIES]
We have an opening for a princess
For a genuine, certified princess
(We have an opening for a princess)

[ALL]
We have an opening for a princess
Who's good enough, nice enough
Sweet enough, smart enough, rich enough
For our poor prince!
