Lyrics:

 Chorus #1

I’ve just finished reading our love story,

And I’ll tell you what I think, now that I’m done

It was never ever dull, and far from ever being boring,

But the ending should have definitely followed Chapter One.

Chorus #2

This will never be a million seller,

There are many many others just like it on the shelf

And our friends tried to tell me all about the ending,

But I had to turn the pages all by myself.

Verse #1

Chapter one, I meet this beautiful princess,

As I ride up on my old, but proud, white horse.

I put down my shield and climb to her tower,

And there she said she loved me too, of course.

Verse #2

We rode off on the back of my noble steed

And together we set up castle in the East

My fellow knights kept warning me to pay a little heed

She may be the Beauty, but she may be the Beast.

(Repeat Chorus #2)

Verse #3

There ain’t gonna be no “happy ever after”

In any other story that would surely be a bore

But she went off with the dragon, with lots of laughter,

And I guess I got the poison apple, or maybe the core.

(Repeat Chorus #1)
