The Prince Who Wanted Everything Lyrics
[Hook]
Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do
[Verse 1]
Once upon a time, there was a prince
He tried to save the world with funk rock riffs
Look at him now, oh
Look at him now, oh
On cobblestones
[Chorus]
He's the prince who wanted everything
He's the prince who wanted everything
[Hook]
Do do do do
Do do do do
[Verse 2]
Ooh, his hair was very Joan Baez
And fans would auction off his autographs
Look at him now, oh
Look at him now, oh
His paisley bones
[Chorus]
He's the prince who wanted everything
He's the prince who wanted everything
[Hook]
Do do do do
She do do do
[Bridge]
Because life will make a beggar of rich men
Bring the sovereign to his knee-ee-ees
And all the gold and all of the platinum
Melting like a drop in the sea-ea-eas
The only way to escape
Is to dance, dance, dance in the flames
[Hook]
Do do do do
Do do do do
[Verse 3]
All the courtiers would genuflect
Kiss the ring, secure a bonus check
Where are they now, oh?
Where are they now, oh?
In red Corvettes
[Chorus]
They left the prince who wanted everything
He's the prince who wanted everything
[Outro]
Do do do do
