Music is a princess
I'm just a boy, in rags

I would gladly spend my life

carrying her flags

From the first time I heard her
the sound of her voice
and her beauty completely bewitched me,
I was lost then and there
I was given no choice
ever since, there's been no peace for me.
You see,

music is a princess

I'm just a nobody

who'd gladly give his life

for her majesty.

If in dying I'd move her or make her heart stir
if I thought for one moment I'd be missed...
but extravagant gestures are wasted on her
she's a princess, I'm Oliver Twist.

Music is a princess

I'm just a boy, in rags

I'd gladly spend my life

carrying her bags

If their weight is much greater than I first supposed
I'd remember my oath of allegiance
true love is a monarch who won't be deposed,
treason hasn't a chance.

Music is a princess

I'm just a boy, in raaa-aags

Music is a princess

I will remain unknown,

falling asleep at night

dreaming of her throne

But her jewels are brighter than my eyes can bear
and although she is something to die for,
I do not have the slipper she's waiting to wear
so my dreams remain dreams nothing more.

Her jewels are brighter than my eyes can bear
yes, she is something to die for,
but I don't have the slipper she's waiting to wear

I'm a boy dressed in rags at her door.

Music is a princess

I'm just a boy, in raaaaaags

In raa-aaaa-aags

In rags
