There was a prin-cess  who one day waved a wand
I gained the pa- lace,  lost the pond
Right now she's thin-king  about the ways things were
 Now I'm not myste- rious  to her
 Never trust a spell
 Don't rely on magic  or any  wishing well
 To take away your problems
 After everything
 The princess loved the frog  more before  he was a king
 Abracadabra
