She measured her worth by a teaspoon
And piled greens on top of each other
She went mad over a flick of a needle
And she made her elves swallow the burden for her
She asked the mirror for an answer
To see if she was the fairest
The swans are what the hunters are after
The ugly ducklings they wouldn't notice
Mattresses layered upon mattresses
But still she remained restless
A single pea could overwhelm her
For that was what made her a 'princess'
She heaved and she blew
And she huffed and puffed too
But the walls made out of bricks
Wouldn't fall for those tricks
And the prince, safe inside
Watched her smiling wide
And he threw out his sticks and stones
'Til the girl became a pile of bones
Living inside the tower
Isn't what it's claimed to be
Some girls would grow their dreams out long
To break out of there, finally
The clock struck at midnight
The magic soon fades away
The prince never came to remember
The girl who appeared that day
Knights don't slay my dragons
I'm never the damsel in distress
Heroes would rather save themselves
Than help me out of this mess
