       C (x32010@1)            DWith (xx0232@1)a pink and purple wall,
      C (x32010@1)             G

And a princess living there.

                           C (x32010@1) D

She had no parents and was all alone,

        G (320003@1)      C (x32010@1)    GAnd (320003@1)she liked it pretty well.


                          D
'Cause (xx0232@1)she never wore her socks,

              GShe (320003@1)had a pet snake,

                 D (xx0232@1)

                    EmAnd (022000@1)she ate a whole cake.


                    C (x32010@1)                            D

There was a dragon with a pointy tail,

       C (x32010@1)           DHe (xx0232@1)was bigger than a whale,
        C (x32010@1)               G

                              *C     D

        G (320003@1)           C (x32010@1) GBut (320003@1)she caught him by his tail.


D

                       GSo (320003@1)the dragon couldn't fly,
                    D

She told him he was mean,

                       EmAnd (022000@1)it made the dragon cry.


                  C (x32010@1)                           D

       C (x32010@1)                           D7 (xx0212@1)                C (x32010@1)name="chord_xx0232@1">D
