Not everybody knows that a princess can be a little short and a little round - and still be beautiful-

lyrics

Isabella, Daughter Of King John The Profound Jan Hauenstein

(C) (Am) (Dm) (G)
Isa(C)bella, daughter of King (G)John the Profound,
Is a (F)little short and a (C)little round,
But “She’s (Dm)beautiful!” is what (G)all the people say,
For (F)she's quite splendid to (G)look at, any(C)way. (Am) (Dm) (G)

The (Am)handsome stupid prince (G)Willy Wackel Wince
Wanted (F)her to be his bride, but she (Am)pushed him aside:
"You have a (E)beautiful face,
But you (Am)are a disgrace!
I (Dm)want a man who is smart, (G)can’t you tell,
I (F)want a good man who can (G)think very well!"

The (Am)old buxom king (G)Wicky Wacky Wing
Has (F)houses and jewels, but he (Am)is an old fool.
"You have (E)mountains of money,
But I (Am)won’t be your honey,
I (Dm)want someone who loves me, a (G)man who is smart,
An (F)old king with a double chin (G)won’t win my heart!"

Isa(C)bella, daughter of King (G)John the Profound,
Is a (F)little short and a (C)little round,
But “She’s (Dm)beautiful!” is what (G)all the people say,
For (F)she's quite splendid to (G)look at, any(C)way. (Am) (Dm) (G)

The (Am)rich tycoon Walter (G)Woppelwoof Moon
Has (F)money to spare, but that is (Am)all the same to her.
"You have a (E)lot of dough,
But I don’t (Am)care, don’t you know:
I (Dm)want a young man who (G)is a real gent,
Yes, I (F)want a weet man who can (G)be my friend!"

Her heart’s not (Dm)easily won, but (G)Rudy Red Ruby, a (Am)burgher’s son,
(E)Loves Isabella, and he (Am)is a clever fella. (Am7)
He has (F)won her heart, for he’s (C)young and smart.
“She is so (Dm)beautiful!” you can (G)hear him say,
And they are (F)both very splendid to (G)look at, any(C)way. (Am) (Dm) (G)

And so (Dm)pretty Isabella, the (G)wise daughter of King (Am)John the Profound,
A (F)little short and a (C)little round,
Marries the (Dm)burgher’s handsome son, for her (G)heart he has (Am)won,
And they will (E)live happily, (Am)hear what I say,
At (Dm)least until the (G)end of this (C)day! (Am) (Dm) (G) (C) (C5)(hold)

Why no free uploads? I cover songs. Register them with the German music rights agency GEMA. They hopefully reimburse the artists. The tax authorities demand that I make (not lose) a little money each year... ... more
