Cinderella, Darling

How often does it happen That a secretary's boss wants to marry her? Hallelujah How often does the dream come true Without a sign of conflict or barrier? Hallelujah 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? Hallelujah How often does a Cinderella Get a crack at the prince? Cinderella and the prince Don't you realize You're a real live fairytale? A symbol divine So if not for your own sake Please darling, for mine Don't, don't, don't, Cinderella, darling Don't turn down the prince Don't rewrite your story You're the legend, the folklore The working girls dream of glory 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 Oh, let us live it with you Each hour of each day On from Bergdorf Goodman To Elizabeth Arden In the station wagon Hurry from Twenty-One To the Tarrytown, PTA (No, New Rochelle) New Rochelle PTA Oh, do not leave us minus Our vicarious bonus We want to see his highness Married to your lowness On you, Cinderella, sits the onus So when you name the happy day Please phone us Phone us But don't, don't, don't, Cinderella, darling Don't turn down the prince Why spoil our enjoyment? You're the fable, the symbol Of glorified unemployment We were raised on you, darling And we've loved you ever since Don't louse up our favorite fairytale 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 All right I'll give him one more chance Hallelujah
