Parody Song For Lute and Harp

Parody Song for Lute and Harp 

The cobbler who mended the princess´s shoes
Fell in love with her feet and declared his love.
But the princess was quite chocked, said…no.

Sad cobbler sat in his shop repairing waders,
Farmer clogs and polished officers riding boots
The cobbler who mended the princess´s shoes. 

The princess had shoes to repair, sent a servant, 
But the cobbler needed her feet to make a fit.
He fell in love with her feet and declared his love. 

He mended her shoes touched her ankles to make
Sure the shoes fit and the princess´s was thrilled 
Made him a courtier of her dainty ankles and feet.
