BECKY
I ain’t known a duke
’Aven’t met the queen
But I knows a princess
When I seen her
And I knows yer a princess
’Cause I seen yer
Givin’ a bit o’ tea to poor li’l me
Sharin’ a bit o’ fun wi’ the wee uns
Wipin’ away each tear, and lendin’ yer ear
Fer that yer’ll always be a princess ter me
Though they took away yer fancy frocks
And sent yer maid away
Yer’ll always be a princess
Same as yesterday
Fer ’twasn’t all yer had
But all yer gave away
That makes yer yet a princess
Same as yesterday
Bestowin’ respeck to a l’il inseck
Behavin’ wi’ grace afore a angry face
Grantin’ a story, supplantin’ a worry
Fer that yer’ll always be a princess ter me
Op’nin’ your door ter sum’un so poor
Carin’ how’s my day, care in all you say
Offer’n a kind word, helpin’ sum’un small be heard
Fer that yer’ll always be a princess ter me
Though they took away yer fancy frocks
Sold yer silks and furs
It’d be a ’onor and a privilege, miss,
To serve a smile as kind as yers
Fer ’twasn’t all yer had
But all yer gave away
That makes yer yet a princess
Same as yesterday
I ain’t known a duke
’Aven’t met the queen
But I knows a princess
When I seen her
And I knows yer a princess
A true, gold-’earted princess
An’ yer’ll always be a princess ter me
