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 three 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 The barricade's a castle wall, forty seven 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 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
