Cinderella Darling.kar

(Smitty) – How often does it happen
that a secretary's boss wants to marry her?
(Girls) – Hallelujah!

(S.) – How often does the dream come true
without a sign of conflict or barrier?
(Girls) – Hallelujah!

(S.) – Why treat the man
like he was a typhoid carrier?

How often can you fly from this land
of carbon paper to the land of flowered chintz?
(Girls) – Hallelujah!

(S.) – How often does a Cinderella
get a crack at the Prince?
(Girls) – Cinderella and the Prince!

(S.) – Don't you realize...
you're a real, live fairy tale,
a symbol divine.

So, if not for your own sake,
please, darling, for mine,
(Girls) – and mine, and mine, and mine.

Don't, don't, don't, Cinderella, darling,
don't turn down the Prince.

(S.) – Don't rewrite your story;
you're the legend, the folklore,
the working girl's dream of glory.

(All) – We were raised on you, darling,
and we've loved you ever since.

Don't mess up a major miracle,
don't, Cinderella, don't turn down the Prince.

(S.) – Oh, let us live it with you,
each hour of each day,
(Girl I) – on from Bergdorf Goodman...

(Girl II) – to Elizabeth Arden...
(Girl III) – in the station wagon...
(Girl IV) – hurry from Twenty-One...

(Girl V) – to the Tarrytown P.T.A.
(Rosemary) – No, New Rochelle!
(All) – New Rochelle P.T.A.

(Girls) – Please!
(Smitty) – Oh, do not leave us minus

– Please!
– our vicarious bonus.

– Please!
– We want to see His Highness

– Please!
– married to Your Lowness.

– Ooh.
– On you, Cinderella, sits the onus,

– Ooh.
– so when you name the happy day,

Please phone us,
(All) – phone us.

But don't, don't, don't, Cinderella, darling,
don't turn down the Prince.

(Smitty) – Why spoil our enjoyment;
you're the fable, the symbol
of glorified unemployment.

(All) – We were raised on you, darling,
and we've loved you ever since.

Don't louse up our fav'rite fairy tale,
don't, Cinderella, don't, don't, don't,
don't, Cinderella, don't, don't, don't,

Don't, Cinderella, don't,
don't turn down the Prince.

(Rosemary) – All right,
I'll give him one more chance.
(Girls) – Hallelujah!
