This ol' castle's getting boring,
There ain't no spinning wheels in sight.
To sleep would be best, but this spindle I must test,
I've got to try it out before tonight.

I called the house, the lady answered,
She took me to the spindle in her room.
I guess she snookered me, to tell the truth I just can't see,
I hit the floor and blacked out with a boom!

And the prince's kiss done woke me and he's really coming on, and
I'm much too old to look this damn young.
Now a banquet's on the table and our wedding will go on, and
I'm much too old to look this damn young.

The whole damn kingdom's getting merry,
Last century, you know I can't recall.
The good old fairy, Mr. Grimm, and Prince Charming and his men,
Seem to be the only friends I've left at all.

And my blonde hair's getting longer and the prince is moving on, and
I'm much too old to look this damn young.
His other woman's on my table, with no shame they're having fun, and
I'm much too old to look this damn young,
I'm much too old to look this damn young.
