around on a Saturday night
with nothin' at all to do
I came across some old yearbook
and so I started flippin' through
It took me back to the good ol' days
I'd spent up at that school
And all the pretty little girls
over which I used to drool
But then I turned white as a ghost
My God, it was old Annie Mae,
And this kid named Johnny Simmons,
who used to always pick on me
The last I heard he's workin' at
the pick -and -paste you store
And Annie's been married four times,
Now the real life's much different
than in that of a fairy tale
Where in story land you make it,
Life don't always turn out
you'd like for things to be
My gal dreamed about Prince Charming
Well, I finally turned the page
And there up on the stage
Was this brunette girl named Mona
Who always lied about her age
Past the age of seventeen
I think she married Thomas Hill
down at Harvey's Bar and Grill
Now the real life's much different
than in that of a fairy tale
Where in story land you make it,
Life don't always turn out
you'd like for things to be
My gal dreamed about French Charmin,
Then I came across the picture
of my old self by -and -by
There I stood so small and lame
With my hair dyed bluish green
From where I tried to turn it blonde
Though it now seems so unkind
Now the real life's much different
Than in that of a fairy tale
Where in story land you make it
Life don't always turn out
you'd like for things to be
My gal drinked a bite of Prince Charming
My faith was then restored
and all else was soon ignored
When I got up to the most
Of course, the couple crowned
Were the most outstanding students
that the rest of us had found
It was Ralph and Martha Wright
Who had married with approval
And without further delay
I watched the late night news
The man talked of a fight
And arrested were a couple
named Ralph and Martha Wright
Now the real life's much different
than in that of a fairy tale
Where in story land you make it,
Life don't always turn out the way
you'd like for things to be
My gal dreamed about Prince Charming,
My gal dreamed about Prince Charming,
and she ended up with me you
