Ben Bailey Smith Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ay
Hear ye, hear ye
Hear ye, you need to hear this
Yeah

Uh, Gather 'round, heed my call
In two weeks hence there'll be a ball
And not just any ball, this night could change your life
See, It's time the prince finally find his wife
That's right, all the single ladies you should be getting excited
Because every single one to the ball is invited
So take a bath, do your hair, buy a fancy new dress
Paint your nails, you got a prince to impress

Yes, it's gonna be magic, yo, uh
So wouldn't it be tragic, yo, uh
If you were a side chick, y'all uh
And thought yourself underqualified, nah
So put on a gown, y'all, uh
For a shot at the crown, yo, uh




And prepare to get down, y'all, uh
As Prince Robert chooses his bride
