Once upon a time
Emotional heat playing with the mind
Armored steel
Sweating for real
Protecting me lord
From the we chord
Tripped over while on tour
They said it all began
Setting up the blowing fan
Sitting on the gold sand
Someone approached
Seemed to be a cockroach
Acted like a chief
Promoting entertaining relief
You got what it takes
He told those trying to sun bake
To be a star
Performing on my bar
Dancing away
Swinging with the sway
Smiles all around
Being the excitement in town
Enthusiastic gypsies agreed
Magic man planted the youthful production seed
Letting it grow
Entered my romantic foe
A Prince maturing
Life not boring
When he saw the show
I realized, time to let her go
Into the mist
No longer will be kissed
So, dear Lord
Did you enjoy the we chord?
Dancing on the floor
All for you
Why don’t you vow, “I do”
Wanting my friend
You I do defend
My heart will mend
When
I do send
My gift of a red rose
After you propose
To my childhood lass
Swinging for cash
In the theater below
Performing a number, we all know
I will use my shield
Protecting you, like a banana to a peel
Not worrying about a thing
Since you will one day be King
Marrying my companion queen
Creating a powerful good team
While I sit here and dream
Eating strawberries and cream
Conquering your many evil fiends
Releasing steam
Bellowing a loud scream
Lean
And mean
Then later
I will be your waiter
Serving your ringing bell
Instead of telling you, go to “the well”
Hiding a spell
Turning her ugly
Possessed spending your money
I will think that would be funny
Enjoying tomorrow, warm and sunny
Beach will be filled with enchanting bunnies
Thinking I am good looking and funny
Personality being my plus
Along with an attitude filled with trust
While you have only a permanent royal bust
Statuesque in size
Hiding behind a disguise
Masking many lies
Sincerely yours and good bye
My Lord
Do not worry I will find the door
Hoping you enjoyed the score
No longer getting any more
Since you are a husband now
And your wife larger then a cow
From a spell
Hidden in the well
Ready to tell
Everything
About our power play King
