The Prince's Kiss

There once lived a handsome prince
Who one day was a frog
But a kiss from a beautiful princess
Made his home no more a log

Now this prince was a playboy
And he liked his women fast
Every relationship he ever had
Was destined not to last

In the kingdom lived a witch
We'll call, (my mother-in-law)
The ugliest woman who ever lived
Uglier than them all

Now the prince was getting older
And was tired of running around
So he thought he'd find a woman
And finally settle down

Now the witch, (my mother-in-law)
Had also heard this news
And she was bound and determined
That she'd be the one he'd choose

So the witch, (my mother-in-law)
Decided to make up a tale
About a wicked witch, (somebody elses mother-in-law)
Who had put her under a spell

And a single kiss from royality
Would show her beauty inside
And live happily everafter
As prince and his princess bride

Now the prince was a little reluctant
But he puckered and closed his eyes
And when the deed was finally done
He was in for a big surprise

For the witch, (my mother-in-law)
Was not a princess at all
You didn't really think she was did you?
For I said she was my mother-in-law

The prince was shocked to see
That she was still and ugly witch, (you know)
But now the prince began to scratch
For he had such a terrible itch

For the ugly witch, (you guessed it) 
Had cast an itching spell
Now no one else would want him
And she'd keep him for herself

Well that's the end of my story
It has no moral at all
Except don't be kissing ugly witches
And especially my mother-in-law
