about
The demo for this song was originally posted at patreon.com/mikeymason on February 21, 2020.
It’s a fun, catchy, late 80’s style pop rock song about the joy of cosplay and how clothing can change your entire attitude and outlook. This song puts me, mentally, in the hallways of a convention, surrounded by people oohing and aching over cosplayers, who are posing and smiling and everyone is having a wonderful time.
This song was originally created through the support of my Patreon patrons, especially Robin Abess, Jon Haight, Les Howard, Brian Jackey, Jeremy Jackson and Jennifer Lewis, and John R Woolard.

lyrics
Been working over, candle’s burning at both ends
And somehow I still can’t enjoy the dividends
I just need something more to rise above it all
It’s time to give my fairy godmother a call
Sometimes you need to look good, It’s not enough to be good
Even though the inside’s all that counts
I wanna be a Princess, A sorceror’s apprentice
I’m gonna need a long cape and a crown
I need regalia! Give me regalia! Regalia! I need regalia!
Another Monday morning, landed in the rough
I might be doing fine, but it’s still not enough
There’s something more to life, a subtle state of grace
When the right wardrobe puts a smile back on your face
Sometimes you need to look good, It’s not enough to be good
Even though the inside’s all that counts
I wanna be a Princess, A sorceror’s apprentice
I’m gonna need a long cape and a crown
I need regalia! Give me regalia! Regalia! I need regalia!
When I need confidence that I don’t feel at all
I do a costume change and jump back in the brawl
Sometimes you need to look good, It’s not enough to be good
Even though the inside’s all that counts
I wanna be a Princess, A sorceror’s apprentice
I’m gonna need a long cape and a crown
I need regalia! Give me regalia! Regalia! I need regalia!
And somehow I still can’t enjoy the dividends
I just need something more to rise above it all
It’s time to give my fairy godmother a call
Sometimes you need to look good, It’s not enough to be good
Even though the inside’s all that counts
I wanna be a Princess, A sorceror’s apprentice
I’m gonna need a long cape and a crown
I need regalia! Give me regalia! Regalia! I need regalia!
Another Monday morning, landed in the rough
I might be doing fine, but it’s still not enough
There’s something more to life, a subtle state of grace
When the right wardrobe puts a smile back on your face
Sometimes you need to look good, It’s not enough to be good
Even though the inside’s all that counts
I wanna be a Princess, A sorceror’s apprentice
I’m gonna need a long cape and a crown
I need regalia! Give me regalia! Regalia! I need regalia!
When I need confidence that I don’t feel at all
I do a costume change and jump back in the brawl
Sometimes you need to look good, It’s not enough to be good
Even though the inside’s all that counts
I wanna be a Princess, A sorceror’s apprentice
I’m gonna need a long cape and a crown
I need regalia! Give me regalia! Regalia! I need regalia!
