Sit down and be quiet,
do not speak a word
Children are to be seen,
but never be heard
a poster child you'll be
image clean as snow
your name everyone will know.
The perfect accessory
"Behave yourself, people are staring!"
See the stains on the clothes you are wearing?
Cameras are flashing,
"Oh look what you've done!
Do you see the curse my name has become?"
The princess' a mess
worn down like the holes in her pretty pink dress
