Life After Happily Ever After (From "Tangled: Before Ever After")

Raps: This is life after happily ever after

And it’s all just as sweet as the stories say

I feel wild, free, as light as can be

And ready to explore

With nothing at all standing in my way

Ture, there are certain customs I have to follow

Cass: Curtsy

Raps: Several small obligations I can’t avoid

Cass: Princess, the time

Raps: A few rules, too—well, more than a few

Commitments by the score

Aside from all that, though, I’m overjoyed

Cass: This way, Princess

Raps: And sure there are corsets and buckles and bows

Plus all those names to recall

Jane?

Ethel: Ethel

Raps: Right

Still I can hardly complain, I suppose

This is happily ever after, after all

Cass: That’s enough. I’ll take it from here

How you holding up

Raps: Busy

But busy is good

Cass: I’m glad you think so, Raps

‘cause this welcoming ceremony is just the beginning

Tomorrow’s the festival, followed by the royal banquet

And that’s all before the actual coronation on Sunday

Oh, come on, really?

Look, Rapunzel, I know this princess thing is new to you

But you’ve got to at least try to act the part

Raps: Trust me, Cassandra

I know how important this is to my dad

Guard Captain: As you’ve requested, your Majesty

We’ve doubled security on both the main gates and the south towers

King: Good, We have guests from all over the world

I want them to know that they are safe

Everything for my little girl’s coronation weekend must be absolutely perfect

Raps: Hi, Dad

King: And now that at last you are here in my arms

I won’t permit you to fall

I must protect you from all the world’s harms

We’ll live happily ever after, after all

Now, as princess, you are not only representing yourself and the family

But all of Corona

Raps: Don’t worry, Dad. I won’t let you down

But while we’re on the whole princess coronation thingy

I mean, all these royal activities are great

But do you think I might be able to catch a little downtime soon?

King: I know this is all new, but you’ll adjust

After all, your friend seems to be getting on just fine

Eugene: Ooh-hoo-hoo, Helmut, my man

This hat ties the whole outfit together

Now, I know what you’re all thinking

“Why is Eugene in such a good mood today?”

“I mean, what gives?”

Now that we’re living splendidly

Our dreams fulfilled extendedly

Why leave things open-endedly for Rapunzel and I?

Tonight I’ll hand this rose to her

Kneel down and then propose to her

And give this ring I chose to her

Big Nose: Nice

Eugene: Life’s gonna be like strawberry sherbet

Once she is Mrs. Eugene Fitzherbert

Okey, not great, but how about this

Once she is Princess Eugene Fitzherbert

And what better day to propose to a princess than at her coronation?

R&E: This is life after happily ever after

And our story has finally reached its end

Eugene: Setting down here

Raps: Year upon year

Eugene: Contented and secure

Raps: With dozens of duties we’ll have to tend

R&E: And now that we’ve gotten the dream that we chose

Now that we’re in for the haul

Now our adventures can come to a close

Living happily ever after, after all

Raps: Now that I’ve gotten the dream that I chose

Why does my world feel so small?

If this is it

And it is, I suppose

Is this happily ever after, after all?

Okey, no pressure. Just introducing myself to the most important people in the world

Representing my mom, dad and the entire kingdom

We got this
