## Lyrics

* First version
* Finale version

**Rapunzel**: 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

True, there are certain customs I have to follow (**Cassandra**: *Curtsy.*)

Several small obligations I can't avoid (**Cassandra**: *Princess? The time.*)

A few rules, too - well, more than a few -

Commitments by the score

Aside from all that, though, I'm overjoyed (**Cassandra**: *This way, Princess.*)

And sure, there are corsets and buckles and bows

Plus all those names to recall (*Jane? Right.*) (**Ethel**: *Ethel.*)

Still, I can hardly complain, I suppose -

This is happily ever after, after all.

**Cassandra**: *That's enough. I'll take it from here. How you holding up?*

**Rapunzel**: *Busy. But busy is good.*

**Cassandra**: *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.*

**Rapunzel**: *Trust me, Cassandra, I know how important this is to my dad.*

**Captain**: *As you've requested, Your Majesty, we've doubled security on both the main gates and the south towers.*

**King Frederic**: *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.*

**Rapunzel**: *Hi, Dad.*

**King Frederic:** 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.*

**Rapunzel**: *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 Frederic**: *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 moi?

Tonight I'll hand this rose to her

Kneel down and then propose to her

And give this ring I chose to her (*Nice!*)

Life's gonna be like strawberry sherbert

Once she is Mrs. Eugene Fitzherbert

*Okay, 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?*

**Both**: This is life after happily ever after

And our story has finally reached its end

**Eugene**: Settling down here

**Rapunzel**: Year upon year

**Eugene**: Contented and secure

**Rapunzel**: With dozen of duties we'll have to tend

**Both**: 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.

**Rapunzel**: 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?

*Okay, no pressure. Just introducing myself to the most important people in the world. Representing my mom, dad, and the entire kingdom. We got this.*

**Rapunzel**: Is this life after happily ever after?

Is this who have I always been meant to be?

I can tell now I'm different somehow than what I was before

And maybe at last this is really me

After all that I've done, I've seen, and been through

After all of the choices both right and wrong

Through the doubts, fears, the joys and the tears, all that and so much more

I've somehow come back to where I belong

And now there's no boundaries, no limits, no bars

Now there's no tower, no wall

Now life's wide open from here to the stars

And I'm happily ever after, after all

*(Instrumental bridge)*

Somehow at last we were all truly home

**Eugene**: Living happily ever after

**Frederic and Arianna**: Living happily ever after

**All**: Living happily ever after, after all
