"Welcome to The Carrie Woodlawn Show! I'm Carrie Woodlawn, it's Monday, December 8, 2025, this is ICT's Afternoon Chat Channel, and I want to introduce someone today whom you already know, but I bet you've never seen her! She's 'The New Little Princess' with 'The Army of the Princess' and she's going to do her new song, 'Stuck In De Mud', right now. Let's give her a hand!"
[Audience applauds]
A large tipper, full of wet mud, appears and slowly dumps its cargo all over the stage. The audience gasp.
We hear military percussion over the studio sound system. The Princess, in a short-sleeved white blouse and short blue skirt, with a red beret, barefoot, carrying an AK-103 loosely over her right shoulder, hand on its butt, stamps through the mud, giggling. Her band, right behind her, shod but in similar clothing, march far better, but step hesistantly, pulling faces.
The Princess sits down at her "Mighty Synth". Her music sounds like fireworks. Johnny 'All-About-The' Cortez, usually her band's bass player, blows Brazilian carioca music on his bugle.
The lights go off in the studio. The audience gasp. Coloured lights flash from everywhere.
The Princess shouts: "Hey, wai' a minute! That's off!"
"Hey, Pom-Pom, give us a beat," the Princess says.
Hector 'Pom-Pom' Cortez, the band's percussionist, starts up his percussion machine with a moderate, steady beat, walking not marching, reggae style.
The lights return.
All-About-The's bass guitar replaces his bugle.
Then all play and sing.
Chorus:
Stuck in de mud
But we keep on marchin' on, yeah
Stuck in de mud
One step at a time
One step at a time yeah, yeah
Guts and blood
Are our only road markin's, yeah
We gonna keep on marchin' on
One step at a time
One step at a time
The Princess sings by herself with the band's music:
(2 times) Gonna win dis revolution
One step at a time
One step at a time
Yah!
And at de time we cannot take a step
We're gonna wait for a better time, yeah!
We're always waitin' for de right time, yeah!
[Musical Interlude]
[The Princess resumes singing with the music.]
Listen here, de right time
Is when you look de enemy in the eye
Only one will live
