Cinderella

Cinderella

You're as lovely as your name

Cinderella

You're a sunset in a frame

Though you're dressed in rags

You wear an air of queenly grace

Anyone can see

A throne would be your proper place

Cinderella

If you give your heart a chance

It will lead you

To the kingdom of romance

There you'll see your dreams unfold

Cinderella

In the sweetest story

Ever told

Once upon a time, in a faraway land,

there was a tiny kingdom,

peaceful, prosperous, and rich in romance and tradition.

Here, in a stately chateau,

there lived a widowed gentleman

and his little daughter, Cinderella.

Although he was a kind and devoted father,

and gave his beloved child every luxury and comfort,

still, he felt she needed a mother's care.

And so, he married again,

choosing for his second wife a woman of good family,

with two daughters just Cinderella's age,

by name, Anastasia and Drizella.

It was upon the untimely death of this good man, however,

that the stepmother's true nature was revealed.

Cold, cruel, and bitterly jealous

of Cinderella's charm and beauty,

she was grimly determined to forward the interests

of her own two awkward daughters.

Thus, as time went by,

the chateau fell into disrepair.

For the family fortunes were squandered

upon the vain and selfish stepsisters,

while Cinderella was abused, humiliated,

and finally forced to become a servant in her own house.

And yet, through it all,

Cinderella remained ever gentle and kind.

For with each dawn, she found new hope that someday

her dreams of happiness would come true.

Well, it serves you right, spoiling people's best dreams.

Yes, I know it's a lovely morning,

but it was a lovely dream, too.

What kind of a dream?

Can't tell.

'Cause if you tell a wish, it won't come true.

And, after all...

A dream is a wish

Your heart makes

When you're fast asleep

In dreams you will lose

Your heartaches

Whatever you wish for

You keep

Have faith

In your dreams and someday

Your rainbow will come smiling through

No matter how your heart is grieving

If you keep on believing

The dream that you wish

Will come true

Oh, that clock.

Old killjoy.

I hear you. "Come on, get up," you say.

Time to start another day.

Even he orders me around.

Well, there's one thing.

They can't order me to stop dreaming.

And perhaps someday...

The dreams that I wish

Will come true

No matter how your heart is grieving

If you keep on believing

The dream that you wish

Will come true

- Look what I found. - Over there, Cinderella.

Wait a minute.

One at a time, please.

Now, Jaq, what's all the fuss about?

New mouse in the house.

Brand-new. Never saw it before.

- Visitor. Visitor! - Oh, a visitor.

Well, she'll need a dress...

- No, no, no. - It's not a she, it's a he.

- He, he. - Oh, that does make a difference.

- He'll need a jacket and shoes... - Gotta get him out!

- It's in a rat trap. - Where?

In a trap? Why didn't you say so?

Now, now, calm down, everybody.

Oh, the poor little thing's scared to death.

Jaq, maybe you better explain things to him.

Zuk, zuk, Cinderelly.

Now, now. Look, little guy.

Take it easy. Nothin' to worry about.

We like you. Cinderelly likes you, too.

She's nice, very nice.

That's better. Come on, now. Zuk, zuk.

Zuk, zuk.

Well, that's better.

Well, let's just slip it on for size.

It is a little snug.

But it'll have to do.

Now, for a name.

I've got one. Octavius.

But for short, we'll call you Gus.

Like it, Gus? Like it? Like it?

Gus-Gus.

I've got to hurry. See he keeps out of trouble, Jaq.

And don't forget to warn him about the cat.

Zuk, zuk. Look, did you ever see a cat?

Cat, cat?

Cat, cat. Lucifer. That's him.

Meany, sneaky.

Jump at you. Bite at you.

Big, big. Big as a house.

Zuk, zuk, Lucify?

Lucify, zuk, zuk.

Here, kitty, kitty.

Come, kitty. Come on.

Lucifer! Come here!

I'm sorry if Your Highness objects to an early breakfast.

It's certainly not my idea to feed you first.

It's orders. Come on.

Lucify. Is that Lucify?

Zuk, Lucify. That's him.

Gus-Gus take the Lucify and look at!

No, Gus-Gus, no.

Now, listen here. Lucify not funny.

Lucify mean.

Bruno.

Bruno!

Dreaming again.

Chasing Lucifer?

Catch him this time? That's bad.

Suppose they heard you upstairs.

You know the orders.

So if you don't want to lose that nice, warm bed,

you'd better get rid of those dreams.

Know how?

Just learn to like cats.

No, I mean it. Lucifer has his good points, too.

For one thing, he...

Well, sometimes he...

There must be something good about him.

Bruno!

Oh, Bruno.

Come on, now. Outside.

I know it isn't easy,

but at least we should try to get along together.

And that includes you, Your Majesty.

Breakfast time. Everybody up. Hurry, hurry.

Come on, everybody, breakfast, breakfast.

Come on, let's eat breakfast.

Breakfast? Breakfast!

Lucify. How're we gonna get out?

Let's see.

Listen, ibby-dibby. Got an idea.

Now, somebody's got to sneak out,

get Lucify to chase him,

run over to the corner and keep Lucify there.

Then we all run out. Zuk.

Yuk, yuk. Out.

Now we choose the one to do it. Ibby-dibby hop.

- Hop. - Hop.

- Ready, hop. - Hop.

Hop.

- Now... - Hop, hop, hop.

Hop.

Oh, there you are.

I was wondering.

All right. Breakfast is served.

Take it easy, cluck-cluck.

Let go! Let go, now.

Stop that. Go on, shoo, shoo.

Shoo, shoo, shoo!

Poor little Gus.

Here.

Help yourself.

Where's Gus-Gus?

Well, guess he got away.

Cinderella!

All right, all right. I'm coming.

Oh, my goodness. Morning, noon, and night.

Cinderella!

Coming, coming.

- Cinderella! - I'm coming.

- Cinderella! - In a minute.

Cinderella!

Good morning, Drizella. Sleep well?

As if you care.

Take that ironing and have it back in an hour.

One hour, you hear?

Yes, Drizella.

Good morning, Anastasia.

Well, it's about time.
