Once Upon a Time Once Again


Once upon a time...

Is that all it takes?

Did you need to know where I was from

or did you want to know if I could bake?

Yes of course I can sing,

it's a requirement for my perfection.

No of course I don't have a ring,

it's a requirement for my social protection.

I'll have my prince eventually,

when I'm done with my nap.

I'll have my kingdom at some point,

but for now it's still sleeping cap.

Beauty, that's me,

and asleep I will be.

If you needed something, 

it doesn't hurt to ask,

but to get to me,

you have to fight this dragon enclosed in that glass.

True love's kiss,

I suppose it's what I need.

Wake me when you find him, 

my prince and husband to be.
