Once there was a handsome prince named
Michael, who spied a maiden fair from afar!
Her eyes, they shine like diamonds
I think her the queen of the land
Her hair hangs over her shoulder
Tied up in a black velvet band
He lost sight of the maiden in the crowd, but was desperate
To find her. He asked the butcher who was nearby...
Have you seen a beautiful maiden?
...The butcher asked
Did her eyes, they shine like diamonds?
Did she look like the queen of the land?
Was her hair hung over her shoulder
Tied up with a black velvet band?
Yes, that's her! Which way did she go?
The butcher pointed the prince in the
Right direction and bid him farewell
Farewell, my good prince, I must attend my meats
My sausages and chops as well
For all these items I must sell!
Farewell, my good prince, I must attend my meats
My sausages and chops as well
For all these items I must sell!
Nice chops!
The prince continued on his search and came upon a cycle maker
He asked the cycle maker if he'd seen a beautiful maid pass by
ย
Did her eyes, they shine like diamonds?
Did she look like the queen of the land?
Did her hair hang over her shoulders
Tied up with a black velvet band?
Yes, that's her! Which way did she go?
The cycle maker pointed the prince in
The right direction and bid him farewell
Farewell, good Prince Michael, for I must build this cycle
It needs a seat and bell as well
For this cycle I must sell!
Farewell, good Prince Michael, for I must build this cycle
It needs a seat and bell as well
For this cycle I must sell!
Nice bike!
The prince continued on his search and came upon a florist
He asked the florist if they'd seen a beautiful maid pass by
ย
Did her eyes, they shine like diamonds?
Did she look like the queen of the land?
Does her hair hang over her shoulder
Tied up with a black velvet band?
Yes, yes, that's her! Which way did she go?
Oh, the florist pointed the prince in
The right direction and bid him farewell
Fare thee well, my prince, I must attend my roses
There's a beauty and a smell
That helps these lovely roses sell!
Fare thee well, my prince, I must attend my roses
There's a beauty and a smell
That helps these lovely roses sell!
Nice smell!
The prince continued on his search, but became forlorn that he
Could not find the beautiful maiden. He was about to give up
His search, when he turned towards the town square and saw her!
Hoo-hoo-hoo! He wasted not a second and ran to her and sang...
ย
Your eyes, they shine like diamonds
I thought you the queen of the land
Your hair hangs over your shoulder
It's tied with a black velvet band
The prince danced with the fair maiden
And he knew he had found his true love
ย
Your eyes, they shine like diamonds
You will be the queen of the land
Please wear this diamond tiara
I place on your head with my hand
ย
The prince and the maiden continued to dance, and the
Maiden knew that she, too, had found her true love
ย
Your eyes are shining like diamonds
You'll make me the queen of the land
I want to wear my tiara
And my hair in a black velvet band
Your hair in a black velvet band
Your hair in a black velvet band
And they lived happily ever after. Wow!
