It’s a classic tale of rags to riches:
Beautiful exploited Cinderella
Finds happiness in spite of many hitches.
For step-mama and sisters (cruel as witches),
She scrubs the floor, hauls coal up from the cellar
In this classic tale of rags to riches.
Fairy god-mum needed: up she pitches!
Waves her wand, all magical and stellar;
Spells happiness in spite of many hitches.
Pumpkin carriage, gown of lustrous stitches,
Slippers made of glass – the story-teller
Tells a classic tale of rags to riches.
A ball, complete with prince in fancy breeches!
Till midnight strikes, she’s dazzling la bella.
Such happiness! But still there are some hitches.
Next day a shoe is tried on by those bitches,
But Cinders proves that Charming is her fella!
And so this classic tale of rags to riches
Ends happily in spite of all those hitches.
