There's a little girl in Skibbereen, with flowing hair and ragged jeans
And floating in a vivid dream, as classes go by
And every day at 3 o'clock, she's out the door and down the block
And hurries to the river dock, a gleam in her eyes
And everything's fine for the day
There's nothing to get in the way of her smile
There's never a care for tomorrow
Cuz Molly's a princess today
Ohhh la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la la
The barricade's a castle wall, 47 miles tall
The river's got a waterfall, the moat is so deep
The cedar trees are canopies, a ceiling made of needle leaves
A buzzing fleet of honeybees is guarding the keep
And no one can take this away
What lives in her mind will remain there to stay
There's never a care for tomorrow
Cuz Molly's a princess today
Ohhh la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la la
Real life can be lifeless and cold
When your heart grows up and gets old
The dreams of your past never seem to quite last
In a future that's so far away
But here in the place, you know Molly… is a princess today
In little while, it's dinnertime, she leaves the kingdom in her mind
A bookmark in the storyline, a chapter is done
The mystery of what will be, tomorrow, when the clock strikes three
There beneath the cedar trees, the princess will come
And there's nothing that she couldn't do
When she closes her eyes, and imagines the view
There's never a care for tomorrow
Cuz Molly's a princess today
Yeah, there's never a care for tomorrow
Cuz Molly's a princess today
Ohhh la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la la
