The Prince's Panties, by Mason William

The Prince's Panties by Mason Williams

There was once a prince who acted strangely in that He thought life was stupid and it was for him so He made up a world in which he liked the things we liked But he had different reasons why he liked them He liked butter for its color He would order toast and color Waitresses, confused would utter Sir, I've never heard of toast and color He'd get angry and begin to choke them The law would come, and they'd arrest and book him So his life was a mess of trouble Still he kept it up He had dogs, a hundred cocker spaniels and he Called them panties, 'cause they did that mostly, and he Did not care at all if they would bark and fetch sticks Run and jump, roll over, and play dead tricks No, he liked them only for their panting So he would run them ragged, but one day they got fed up And chased the prince right up against the fence And the prince was eaten by his panties (I used to sing this to my kids at night when they were sleepy. I could not memorize any of the great poets for some reason, but this song I nailed quite quickly. William's is know for Classical Gas and the Smother's Brother's, but I have a fondness for the Prince, and the world he could only change by looking at it differently.)
