lyrics

I wish that I were royalty, if only I could be
Beautiful like Princess Peach or cheerful like Daisy
Instead when my prince does arrive, I’ll be forced to say
“I’m sorry, Prince, as it turns out
This is not your day”

CHORUS:
Because our princess is in another castle
She was here but now she’s gone, so please just move along
Because our princess is in another castle
But I really wish it could be me

I wish I had a gown, instead I wear this mushroom hat
And because I’m short I’m afraid it just makes me look fat
After all this way you’ve come and I must look contrite
But Mario, I promise more
Than one heart breaks tonight

CHORUS

And if I were her
I’d cook all your meals with mushrooms
And I’d take you to my bedroom so
I could hold you close at night
Could I be yours?
Well, maybe you’re short-sighted
I’m saying I would be delighted
If you could overlook my height

I know it’s not avoidable, soon you will be here
Bowser will find his defeat and you’ll finally be near
I’ll take a breath, try to confess - I can’t keep this at bay
But you interrupt me as I start
Drop to your knees and say

No, Toad, my princess is in this castle
I’ve been through every world, it’s true, I’d take on any boss for you
Because my princess is in this castle
So won’t you come away with me?

At least that's how I dream it'd be
