Many Moons Ago Lyrics

Many Moons Ago In A Far Off Place,
lived a hansome prince,
with a gloomey face,
for he did not have a bride.
Oh he shigh, "Alas"
and he pined "Alas" 
But Alas the prince couldn't find Alas,
who would suit his mother's pride.

For a princess is a delicate thing,
delicate and dainty as a dragon-fly's wing,
you can reconize a lady by her elagant air,
but a genuine princess,
is exseedeling rare.

On a stormey night,
to the astle door,
came alas the prince had been wating for.
"Im a princess lost" quoet she.
But the queen was cool,
and remained aloof.
And she said "Perhaps, but we'll need some proof!
I'll prepare a test and see."

"I will test her thust!"
The old queen said. "I'll put 
twenty-downty mattresses upon her bed, 
and beneath those twenty mattresses, 
i'll place one tiny pea, if that pea 
disturbs her slumber, then a true 
princess is she!"

Now the bed was soft, and extreamley tall,
but the dainty lass didn;t sleep at all,
and she told them so next day.
Said the queen "My dear, if you felt that pea, then we've prooved enough of your royalty. Let the wedding music play!"
And the people shoutes quietly...
"Hooray!"

For A princess is a delicate thing,
delicate and dainty as a dragon-fly's wing,
you can reconize a lady by her ellagant air,
but a genuien princess,
is exseedingly....rare!
