Something worth to think about!

8th March, International Women's Day

The celebration of this day is aimed to remind us that we are all equal, no matter if you are a boy or a girl. In order to do so, celebrate, I have found a cute song about a princess who didn't need a prince to be happy. We will work in class with the lyrics, which I copy bellow.

The princess who saved herself 

There was a castle by a waterfall,
With a pink and purple wall,
And a princess living there.

She had no parents and was all alone,
She got by on her own,
And she liked it pretty well.

'Cause she never wore her socks,
She had a pet snake,
She bought a red (rad?) guitar,
And she ate a whole cake.

And there wasn't anybody there to tell her what to do,
So she did what she wanted to.
Everybody knew the story of the princess who saved herself.
(Princess who saved herself)
(Princess who saved herself)

There was a dragon with a pointy tail,
He was bigger than a whale,
And his breath was terrible.

He scared the princess when he came around,
Tried to burn the castle down,
But she caught him by his tail.

Then she tied him to a tree,
So the dragon couldn't fly,
She told him he was mean,
And it made the dragon cry.

When he finally apologized she offered him some tea,
He accepted it graciously.
Now he visits every weekend with the princess who saved herself.
(Princess who saved herself)
(Princess who saved herself)

(Phone ringing...)

-Hey beautiful! Prince Phillip 
-Oh, hi, Pillip 
-Yeah,… we met at the ball. I was the handsome one. I was wearing a…
-Hey Pillip, tell me if this sounds like a phone hanging up! 
-Yeah, it totally does. Hello?????

(Phone ringing again...)

-Hello 
-Fee, fi, fo, fum,… I smell the * (sound of telephone hanging up) 
-Oh, come on!!!!


There was a witch who was an evil queen,
She was wrinkled, old and green,
And she hated everyone.

She saw the princess in her silver gown,
Put the poison apple down,
Asked her where she bought her clothes.

So they got the witch a dress,
Put some make-up on her face,
They started up a band,
And the dragon played the bass.

Every Saturday they play until their fingertips are sore,
Mostly Math Rock and Cuddle Core.
And they call themselves The Kingdom Of The Princess Who Saved Herself.
(Princess who saved herself)
(Princess who saved herself)

The princess who saved herself.
(Princess who saved herself)
(Princess who saved herself) 


*"Fee-fi-fo-fum" is the first line of a rhyme used in the classic English fairy tale Jack and the Beanstalk.

(English) Fee, Fie, Fo, Fum I smell the blood of an Englishman Be he alive, or be he dead, I'll grind his bones to make my bread.

(Español) Fi, fa, fai, fo, fum, Huelo la sangre de un inglés. Esté vivo o esté muerto, Moleré sus huesos para hacerme pan.

I also want to leave another song here. It was my second best, but it's still worth that you can enjoy it.
