Lyrics[]

2007 Version[]

There was a princess
Long ago, long ago, long ago;
There was a princess long ago,
Long, long ago.

And she lived in a big high tower,
A big high tower, a big high tower;
And she lived in a big high tower,
Big high tower.

A queen was naughty cast a spell,
Cast a spell, cast a spell;
A queen was naughty cast a spell,
cast a spell.

The princess slept for a hundred years,
A hundred years, a hundred years;
The princess slept for a hundred years,
A hundred years.

A great big forest grew around,
Grew around, grew around;
A great big forest grew around,
Grew around.

A gallant prince came riding by,
Riding by, riding by;
A gallant prince came riding by,
Riding by.

He chopped the trees down with his sword,
With his sword, with his sword;
He chopped the trees down with his sword,
With his sword.

He woke the princess with a kiss,
With a kiss, with a kiss;
He woke the princess with a kiss,
With a kiss.

They had a royal wedding,
A wedding, a wedding;
They had a royal wedding,
A wedding.

So everybody's happy now,
Happy now, happy now;
So everybody's happy now,
Happy now.

2014 Version[]

There was a princess
Long ago, long ago, long ago;
There was a princess long ago,
Long, long ago.

And she lived in a big high tower,
Big high tower, big high tower;
And she lived in a big high tower,
Long, long ago.

She spent her days or (waved to the crowds drinking
sips of tea) or Yodelling, (sips of tea) or yodelling, (sips of tea) or yodelling.
She (waved to the crowds drinking sips of tea) or spent her days yodelling,
Long, long ago.

A jealous fairy cast a spell,
Cast a spell, cast a spell;
A jealous fairy cast a spell,
Long, long ago.

The princess slept for a hundred years,
Hundred years, hundred years;
The princess slept for a hundred years,
Long, long ago.

A handsome prince came riding by,
Riding by, riding by;
A handsome prince came riding by,
Long, long ago.

He woke the princess with a kiss(y-wissy-wissy-woo),
Kiss(y-wissy-wissy-woo), kiss(y-wissy-wissy-woo;)
He woke the princess with a kiss(y-wissy-wissy-woo,)
Long, long ago.

And everybody's happy now,
Happy now, happy now;
And everybody's happy now,
Long, long ago.
