Cinderella's Tuckered Out!

Cinderella's sleeping She left the ball you know Thought I saw her peeping Searching high and low For that elusive slipper She lost it on the run Her sisters want to strip her Of her title and her fun! She knows that they're just jealous Cos they're uglier than her But if they're really zealous They'll find her silk and fur A magnificent beauty She transformed to tonight Left her cinders duty And danced under the light But now she's tuckered out She turned back to a bumpkin And ran all the way home Before her coach became a pumpkin Now Cinderella's weeping But if the Prince stops by Just tell him that she's sleeping Don't let him see her cry Her little feet are waiting To tuck in those glass shoes The night is quickly fading There's no time left to lose Hope they'll live ever after In the land of milk and honey With lots of love and laughter I hear Prince Charming's quite funny!
