Text / Lyrics
Gallant and Righteous, Eloquent and Gorgeous
Oblivious to Reality as the Years unfold
You won’t ever lose your version of the truth
If it’s a fairytale you want, it’s a fairytale you’ll get
Once upon a time you stood me up
That’s twice upon a time you let me down
I wait all day in a sparkling gown
With my hair up, my make-up, and my tinfoil crown
‘Cause I heard my Prince Charming’s making rounds
And I know someday he’ll come but today must not be the day
Prince Charming called in sick again
Turned down his knightly duties tonight
Prince Charming called in sick again
Turns out he’s sleeping at Beauty’s tonight
Gruesome and Relentless, Egocentric Grump
Oppressive and Regretful and the Years have come and gone
Dishonest and unfaithful, kiss your lies goodbye
If it’s a fairytale you want, in a fairytale you’ll stay
Prince Charming called in sick again
Turned down his knightly duties tonight
Prince Charming called in sick again
Turns out, he’s sleeping at Beauty’s tonight
Once upon a time you stood me up
I shouldn’t ever let you let me down
