The Princess Phone - It's Little, It's Lovely, It Lights! (tm) was introducted by The Bell System (AT & T) back in 1959. It was made by Western Electric, to take up less space on desk or nightstand. The light on the dial was first lit by household power. (Tim P. Ryan) |
| Was the B-side to the single release of "Ricky" in 1983. (sav-man) |
| While not a parody of any one song, the music is a parody of Blues cliches (down to the slide guitar and harp). (sav-man) |
| An original by Weird Al that pokes fun at England's "Royal Couple" (Prince Charles & Lady Diana). (sav-man) |

| Song Lyrics: |
Gonna tell you a story
About Chuck and Diane
Couple British kids from
The palace at Buckingham
Chuckie wants to grow up
And be a polo star
And ride his little horsies
All around the backyard, oh yeah
You know they really paid their dues
I said hey, lawdy mama
They got them Buckingham blues
Now Chuckie goes hunting
And leaves Diane alone
So she fixes her hair
And she talks on the Princess Phone
Chuckie's still tryin' to figure out
What his job's supposed to be
And Diane's the fashion leader
Of the aristocracy
I said hey, Lady Di
Tell me where'd you get them shoes, ah
Well, hey nonny nonny
Looks like you got them Buckingham blues
Aw, bein' heir to the throne, well
It must be awful hard
Gotta pose for pictures
Out on the front yard
And Lady Di, well
She must have it pretty rough
Gotta hang around the house all day
Makin' babies and stuff
Another game of croquet
Then they're off on a Caribbean cruise
Well hey bop-a-re-bop
They really got them Buckingham blues
Ah, tell the truth, now, tell the truth
Wow
I got my mojo workin'
yeah, woo, don't help me now
Ah, hurt me mama, whoa, ah
They don't serve no Twinkies
With their afternoon tea
Never had a dinner
Made by Chef Boyardee
Bein' in the spotlight
Is a hard life to choose
Diane drops half a pound
It's on the six o'clock news, oh yeah
Those kids have really paid their dues
Oh, what a royal pain it is
When you got them Buckingham blues
(Sonic SBL) |
