You're So Vain

Lyrics by Caius Auklandus and Tatiana Nikolaevna Tumanova

(To the Tune of: You're So Vain by Carly Simon)

You walked onto the Eric
Like you were spoiling for a fight
Your coronet was dipped below one eye
Your belt it was shining white
You kept one eye on the ladies as
You watched yourself call "Light"
And all the girls dreamed that
They'd be your consort, they'd be your consort and

Chorus:
     You're so vain
     You prob'ly think this song is about you
     You're so vain (you’re so vain)
     I bet you think this song is about you
     Don’t you, don’t you, aw

You took me in sev’ral years ago
When I was still quite naïve
When you said that I’d make such a pretty queen
The best that the Kingdom has seen
But you put yourself before your friends
And one of them was me
And I stopped dreaming that
I’d be your consort, I’d be your consort

Chorus

Well, now you’ve sat upon that throne
Fought tourneys, and naturally won
You’ve made an act out of chivalry
So people don’t know that you have none
Well, you’re where you’ve always longed to be
And now you’re there, you’re alone
And I’m so glad now that 
I’m not your consort, I’m not your consort

Chorus:
     You're so vain
     You probably think this song is about you
     You're so vain (so vain)
     I'll bet you think this song is about you
     Don't you, don't you, don't you now
          You're so vain
     You probably think this song is about you
     You're so vain
     You probably you think this song is about you
          You're so vain
