Once Upon A Time Lyrics by Chanel Yates
When I was younger, thought romance never died
But now it turns out, my childhood was a lie
Guess my Prince Charming got lost on his way
So I’d be screwed if I needed to be saved
If those fairytales were re-written today
There’s a line or two I think we’d need to change
‘Cause Jack would probably make Jill carry that bucket up the hill
And the Beast would say that Beauty ain’t his type
Romeo would tell Juliet that he just ain’t ready yet
Well, honey, that’s the story of my life
But I swear good men existed once upon a time
Men used to go to war but now they’re fighting in the bars
They used to take you out, now they don’t even have a car
We used to get love letters, now they don’t know to spell
So if you want the job done right, girl, do it by yourself
‘Cause Jack would probably make Jill carry that bucket up the hill
And The Beast would say that Beauty ain’t his type
Romeo would tell Juliet that he just ain’t ready yet
Well, honey, that’s the story of my life
But I swear good men existed once upon a time
If those fairytales were re-written today
The tramp would wine and dine the lady
And then he’d make her pay
I bet Rapunzel would have never left her tower
And Sleeping Beauty absolutely would have got her full eight hours
It’s such a shame but that’s just men these days
‘Cause Jack would probably make Jill carry that bucket up the hill
And The Beast would say that Beauty ain’t his type
Romeo would tell Juliet that he just ain’t ready yet
Well, honey, that’s the story of my life
And they really shouldn’t be this hard to find
But I swear good men existed once upon a time
