The not-so-pretty Princess was the clown of her class

She made funny faces when they wouldn't let her pass

There was danger of dying at every turn

Don't get caught crying was all that she learned



And the not-so- pretty princess was the queen of her room

And the world was in her closest while she dressed for the groom

There were angels above her and pearls on the floor

And nobody loved her outside of the door



And she's so pretty

She will never be 

So pretty

But she will never be

She's so pretty to me, yeah

She's so pretty and she will...



And the not-so-pretty-princess met a doctor with a knife

He said there was a lot of ways he could change her life

Then with the nose of a reindeer, the skin of a plum

For now she'll be lovely forever though dumb



And she's so pretty

She will never be 

So pretty

But she will never be

She's so pretty to me, yeah, yeah

You're gonna see her places

You're gonna see

You're gonna see her and say

“Hey - that's my Maria”
