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
