Lyrics

[Intro]
As the Prince anxiously waited, the stepmother took matters
And Florinda's foot into her own hands
[Verse 1]
Careful my toe
Darling, I know
What'll we do?
It'll have to go
But when you're his bride, you can sit or ride
You'll never need to walk
[Bridge]
Minus one toe, Florinda mounted the Prince's horse
Unaware of the blood dripping from the slipper
Lucinda was next
[Verse 2]
Why won't it fit?
Darling, be still
Cut off a bit of the heel and it will
And when you're his wife, you'll have such a life
You'll never need to walk
[Bridge]
Minus a heel, Lucinda did her best to swallow the pain
[Outro]
It's a perfect fit, Your Highness
