Jonathan Coulton - The Princess Who Saved Herself lyrics

There was a castle by a waterfall with a pink and purple wall and a princess living there. She had no parents and was all alone but she got by on her own, and she liked it pretty well. Cause she never wore socks, she had a pet snake, she bought a red guitar and she ate a whole cake and there wasn't anybody there to tell her what to do so she did what she wanted to. Everybody knew the story of the princess who saved herself. (Saved herself, saved herself). There was a dragon with a pointy tail, he was bigger than a whale and his breath was terrible. He scared the princess when he came around, tried to burn the castle down, but she caught him by his tail. Then she tied him to tree so the dragon couldn't fly, she told him he was mean and it made the dragon cry. When he finally apologised she offered him some tea he accepted it graciously. Now he visits every weekend with the princess who saved herself
