Jonathan Coulton
The Princess Who Saved Herself
There was a castle by a waterfall
With a pink and purple wall
And a princess living there
She had no parents and was all alone
But she got by on her own
And she liked it pretty well
Cause she never wore socks
She had a pet snake
She bought a red guitar and she ate a whole cake
And there wasn't anybody there to tell her what to do
So she did what she wanted to
Everybody knew the story of the princess who saved herself. (Saved herself, saved herself)
There was a dragon with a pointy tail
He was bigger than a whale
And his breath was terrible
He scared the princess when he came around
Tried to burn the castle down
But she caught him by his tail
Then she tied him to tree so the dragon couldn't fly
She told him he was mean
And it made the dragon cry
When he finally apologised she offered him some tea
He accepted it graciously
Now he visits every weekend with the princess who saved herself
