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!
