Advice to a Prince (aka, Born to Royalty)			DK
(Sung to ÒCelebrityÓ as written and performed by Brad Paisley)

One day youÕre gonna be monarch
Do you deserve it?  You mightÉ
Of course, you may not have earned it
But itÕs your divine right.
CanÕt wait for Dad to retire;
CanÕt wait to wear that crown;
CanÕt wait to show all the nobles
Who gives the orders now.

But when youÕre born to royalty,
ThereÕs certain things expected of thee.
New skills you have to hone
To occupy the throne
And rule effectively.
You need to know who to trust
And how to deal with the upper crust.
Promise them the moon
Until they leave the room;
Deception is a must
When youÕre born to royalty.

You must appeal to the tradesmen
And keep an eye on their guilds.
ÔCause disrespecting the labor
Is one sure way to get killed.
So be good to the peasants
And rule compassionately.
You wouldnÕt want to end up
Like Louis and Marie!

But when youÕre born to royalty,
ThereÕs certain things expected of thee.
	Some folks will want to hide
	Their nose in your backside
	Most sycophanticÕly.
	Some will copy what you do,
	TheyÕll eat and sleep and wear clothes just like you.
	The fawning never ends;
	ItÕs you who sets the trends
	While toadies follow through:
	When youÕre born to royalty.

Find a well-bred lady and get hitched up
ÔCause you know youÕll soon need an heir.
If you donÕt have sons, then
There goes your legacy
Look out history books, here we come!

But when youÕre born to royalty
ThereÕs certain things expected of thee.
ItÕs not all fun and games,
ÔCause youÕre the one theyÕll blame
If youÕre the monarchy
When youÕre born to royalty.
Yeah, born to royalty!
