Not the king, that's told of old,  
Nor valiant swordsman brass and bold.  
Just a man, mere and mortal,  
Seeking solace through this portal.

Not a damsel, in distress  
Nor a princess in men’s dress  
Just a woman, mere and mortal  
Seeking solace through this portal

Swipe ye left, see them no more  
Swipe ye right, and you might score  
Men and women, mere and mortal  
Seeking solace through this portal
