No. 4 - Entrance Song - Princess Mary - "A Madcap Princess."
| Princess: | Some people think a Princess should be tall and straight and stout, Extremely proud and haughty, And not the least bit naughty, They think a Princess ought to be afflicted with the gout And she should pose so stately And curt'sy so sedately; But Mary quite contrary is the name they give to me; Because I'm always chaffing, At dignity e'er laughing, I'm highly independent and from etiquette I'm free. And dignity, yes dignity does not agree with me! |
| They call me the Madcap Princess, I really can't see why, I do what I like, I say what I please, And etiquette I defy, I'm fond of having my own sweet way, I always get it too, Still they call me the Madcap Princess, I don't see why, do you? |
|
| Chorus: | They call me the Madcap Princess, I really can't see why, I do what I like, I say what I please, And etiquette I defy, I'm fond of having my own sweet way, I always get it too, Still they call me the Madcap Princess, |
| Princess: | I don't see why, |
| Chorus: | Do you? |
| Princess: | Some people think a Princess never ought to fall in love, With disposition rigid Her heart should be so frigid, But with a lot of nice young men I'm always hand and glove, A lot of fun one misses, Who frowns on love and kisses; Now why should girls in humble life have all the fun on earth, While Princesses are moping, For some old husband hoping, I love a gay flirtation and I flirt for all I'm worth. And breaking hearts, yes breaking hearts I think a theme for mirth! |
| They call me the Madcap Princess, I really can't see why, I do what I like, I say what I please, And etiquette I defy, I'm fond of having my own sweet way, I always get it too, Still they call me the Madcap Princess, I don't see why, do you? |
|
| Chorus: | They call me the Madcap Princess, I really can't see why, I do what I like, I say what I please, And etiquette I defy, I'm fond of having my own sweet way, I always get it too, Still they call me the Madcap Princess, |
| Princess: | I don't see why, |
| Chorus: | Do you? |
