Princess and the Pauper

Chapter 3: In the royal mines

Nick and Nack are in the royal mines digging for some gold for their boss Preminger suddenly they heard someone come so they got in the minecart to hide because they aren't allowed to be in the mines without permission from the queen or the princess. It was Preminger and his dog Midas and Nick gave him the last gold in the royal mines. Preminger said that is perfect and now I'm rich and the princess will be happy to marry me since I can rescue the kingdom from the sort of money then Nick said that the queen promise that the princess to marry the king of Dulcinea next week then Preminger was angry and said how dare she makes a decision without him and he also said who does she thinks she is .  Nack said she is the queen and Preminger start to sing a song called How can I refuse

[PREMINGER]I've been bowing I've been scraping I've been lying like a rug And for ten long years I've had to pay my dues But today I am escaping For the last gold has been dug it was waiting there, so how could I refuse? I'm returning home a hero Who's discovered mighty wealth And what better husband could a princess choose? I'm the suitor who will suit her Bring the kingdom back to health and I'll wear the crown, for how could I refuse? Raise every glass and rouse every cheer! Praise that the reign of Preminger is here! Master in charge of all that I see All hail me! And by marrying the princess I get all that I desire Like a moatAn ermine coat And palace views Even though she treats me coldlyIt's a sign of inner fire For inside she's thinking"How can I refuse?"

[NACK, spoken]Right, except there's one little problem, boss

[PREMINGER, spoken]

That's Prince Boss to you!

[NACK, spoken]Right, the queen decided to marry off the princess to the King of Dulcenia next week

[PREMINGER, spoken]What?! Making a decision without me?! Who does she think she is?

[NICK, spoken]Uh, the Queen?

[PREMINGER, spoken]

You simpering simpleton!

[NICK, spoken]Well, she is the Queen. She's got a crown and a scepter and sits in her big fancy chair...

[PREMINGER, spoken]Silencio!

[PREMINGER]No! I won't let go! This peasant son won't turn and run because some reckless royal chose another beau Ah...it's...a temporary setback it's a momentary lapse but conveniently my ego doesn't bruise and the moment that I get back I will show them who's the boss you can bet your bullion there'll be no "I do's"Yes suppose the girl goes missing and the king says "au revoir"Then I find her Bring her back and make the news then the queen will be so grateful that she'll pledge the heir to moi And I'll humbly tell her"How can I refuse?"When our ceremony's overI'll arise and take the throne and that nitwit Anneliese can kiss my shoe For the kingdom and the castle will be mine and mine alone If the crown should fit then how can I refuse?[ALL]So get ready with the roses and stand by with the champagne when you've got a brilliant plan you never lose Yes before the chapter closesI'll be as big as CharlemagneIt's a thankless job but how can I refuse

How can I refuse?
