Princess Suite

[Verse 1]
I'll tell you of a princess
A lovely said princess
Who lived in the depths
Of a cool mountain pool

[Verse 2]
Her crown it shone bright
As the frost in the moonlight
Her heart it was sad
As she sat on her stool

[Verse 3]
For all she ever saw there
Were lords by the score there
So proud and so perfect
But each one a fool

[Verse 4]
They said, "You must choose me
It's useless to refuse me
You know you must marry
'Cause that is the rule"

[Verse 5]
Then the princess replied
That at last she'd decided
She smiled very sweetly
And gave a deep sigh

[Verse 5]
Then she cried, "I will marry
The one who will carry
My small silver crown to me
Back from the sky"

[Verse 6]
Then upwards she sped
Took the crown from her pretty head
And threw it as high
As she could in the sky

[Verse 7]
Oh, the water lords took magic
And they flew up in the skies
Their cloaks turned to wings
And they grew enormous eyes

[Chorus]
Here they fluttered, here they scattered
Here they hovered hot and bothered
And you and I would call them dragonflies

[Verse 8]
If you sit beside a pool
When a summer evening's cool
See their shining bodies gleam
As they flit above the stream

[Chorus]
They would cause you no surprise
We would call them dragonflies
Yes, you and I would call them dragonflies
