Happily Ever After

And so, young Prince Waldere, after having slain the dragon Fafner, rescued the princess Grigga And together they mounted his horse Trigga, and rode off to the castle Wunderbar Where they were married, and lived happily ever after Well I'm glad They all lived happily, happily, happily ever after The couple is happily leaving the chapel eternally tied As the curtain descends, there is nothing but loving and laughter When the fairy tale ends the heroine's always a bride Ella, the girl of the cinders did the wash and the walls and the winders But she landed a prince who was brawny, and blue-eyed, and blond Still, I honestly doubt that she could ever have done it without that crazy lady with the wand Cinderella had outside help! I have no one but me Fairy godmother, godmother, godmother! Where can you be? I haven't got a fairy godmother I haven't even got a godmother I have a mother, a plain, ordinary woman! Snow White was so pretty they tell us That the queen was insulted and jealous When the mirror declared that Snow White was the fairest of all She was dumped on the border, but was saved by some men who adored 'er Oh, I grant you, they were small But there were seven of them! Practically a regiment! I'm alone in the night By myself, not a dwarf, not an elf, not a goblin in sight! That girl had seven determined little men working day and night just for her! Oh sure! The queen gave her a poisoned apple Even so she lived happily, happily, happily every after! A magical kiss counteracted the apple eventually Though I know I'm not clever, I'll do what they tell me I hafta! I want some happily ever after to happen to me! Rapunzel had platinum tresses that were double the length of her dresses She was kept in a tower for years by a wicked old witch 'Til one night in despair, down she scrambled, by letting her hair down That's what I call, quite a switch I wonder No, that'll never do I'll be finished before I begin And besides, I down wanna get out! I wanna get in! I wanna live happily, happily, happily ever after I wanna walk happily out of the chapel eternally tied For I know that I'll never live happily ever after 'til after I'm a bride! Then I'll be happily happy Yeah happily happy! And thoroughly satisfied!
