Well This Ain't Right Lyrics

The king said, 'Go save the princess fair

She's trapped in a tower, way up there.'

So I donned my armor, sharp and bright

Set out to battle in the dead of night

Through forest and swamp, I made my way

To the dragon's lair at the break of day

Sword in hand, I kicked the door

Ready to fight and settle the score!

But the princess wasn't crying, she wasn't in despair

She was sipping tea with a dragon in her lair!

They were laughing, they were cozy, holding hands in the firelight

And I thought to myself, 'Well, this ain't right.'

The princess looked up, gave a little cheer

'Oh, hello, brave knight, what brings you here?'

I stammered and stuttered, my script went awry

'Uh, your dad sent me... to... make the dragon die?'

They both burst out laughing, I felt like a fool

'Kill my partner? That's just cruel!'

The dragon leaned close, her smile was sly

'Wanna rethink your plan, little guy?'

'Cause the princess wasn't screaming, she wasn't in distress

She was baking scones in her dragon-print dress!

They were happy, they were thriving, love glowing in their sight

And I thought to myself, 'Well, this ain't right.'

Couldn't return empty-handed, the king would blow his lid

'What now?' I asked, 'What'll I tell the king I did?'

The dragon grinned wide, with a flick of her tail

'Why don't you stick around, we'll need a knight for sale!'

Now I polish the hoard, keep the castle clean

Fetch their groceries, if you know what I mean

Not quite the hero's tale I thought I'd tell

But hey, the benefits are great, so it works out well!

Now the princess isn't crying, she's living her best life

With her dragon partner, not a damsel, not a wife!

We're all happy, we're all thriving, in this castle lit so bright

And I thought to myself, 'Maybe this is right.'

So if you're on a quest, remember this story well

Things aren't always as the legends tell

Not every dragon needs to be slain

And love doesn't fit in a hero's refrain
