lyrics

Twenty mattresses piled upon my bed
Twenty eiderdowns where I lay my head
And one dry pea that blackens my skin
Whatever it takes
I'm gonna marry that prince

Ay, ay, I wore a blank gaze when I stood at the gate
Oh, oh, oh, slate were my cheeks and untangled my plait
Ay, ay, ay, I didn't eat or drink for many days
But knowing I'm his perfect princess I could wait

Oh my charming prince living with his mom
Helping her little boy to find the one
Who will deserve his love and his means
Who'll blithely get bruised
To make the prince king

Oh, oh, oh, oh, did you see her love, her sacrifice
Awe at her bonny intrigue and her well-meaning lies
Who would let their only child choose his ways tossing dice
She had to find the perfect princess she’ll despise

Twenty mattresses piled upon my bed
Twenty eiderdowns where I lay my head
I ate the pea
And the pampered prince
Now rots with his queen
In their country of means
