Lyrics:

Verse 1:
A          E     B   G#m
Once there was a princess
    G#m     B      F#     A
who allways wore a purple dress
    F#m  A      E      Em       D       Dm     A
and said to her friend will you take me to the show
A        E        B  G#m
The guys name was marvin
G#m    B       F#    A
He was allways starvin
F#m       A  E      Em   D         Dm      A
Said he'd go If she said she would pay the bill
A          E       B  G#m
Said She'd pay the ticket 
G#m       B     F#   A
Then gave him a trinket
F#m     A     E        Em   D       Dm          A
Said it would keep him full for the rest of his days


Pre Chorus:
A         D                    G            A       
So marvin Picked it up... and put it in the microwave...


Chorus:
        A             Em
And the popcorn keeps poppin'
Em7        A
Inside the bag
    A             Em
But nothing comes out
Em7	    A
It's such a drag

Verse 2:
So marvin asked the princess
whats with all the nonsence
the bag doesnt open all it does is pop

(thats all i came up with... may need a little help with the rest.)
