The girl wants a princess
Why won't they give her a princess?
All she wants is a princess
Is that too much to ask?
She writes secret letters to Santa
getting the spelling off her princess pajamas
(her grandma smuggled those in past customs)
She just wants to brush her hair
Not her hair but HER hair
She wants to change her clothes
She wants to accessorize
Let her go down that road
Yes, she'll internalize it a little
Yes, she'll find herself imperfect
Probably she'll turn to chocolate,
gateway drug to so much more
She'll get heavily into Nascar Racing for a while
Vote Republican
Perhaps start trading babies on the black market
But the girl wants a princess
Why won't they give her a princess?
She'll talk sweetly for her
Make plans for a dynamic queendom
Like no cars allowed, bicycles only
And block parties every day
Yes she will feel a certain psychic discomfort
as she heads deeper into dirty blonde
and farther away from princess white
Yes, she will never quite wave right
never meet that prince or other princess
with the perfect wave and hair
She may get heavily into online video games
creating a perfect blonde warrior queen
who slashes her way through relationships
with an evil lol
But all that will be worked out
in her Intro to Fem class,
freshperson year

So give the girl a princess
legalize the princess
 and crush the rebellion
with kindness
and your state-sanctioned smile
