When a prince of a fella meets a Cinderella On a night as bright as this Does he slip her a slipper, no sir, Not if he can slip her a kiss When the moonlight is yeller Does the Cinderella Tell the fella to be gone Does she leave him at midnight, no sir, Not if she can linger till dawn Arm in arm, they dream while they're dancing To the sound of a trumpet wail Though it's not the place for romancing It's a modern fairytale When a prince of a fella meets a Cinderella And he whispers "Wouldst thou woo, woo, woo" Does she cuddle up closer, yes sir, Baby hows about it with you. Here's a modern fairytale It never will fail, da-da-da-da, When boy meets girl And their hearts beat as one When all's said and done Well, can't you see That love was meant to be Follow the boy and the girl When a prince of a fella meets a Cinderella On a night as bright as this That's if the moon is bright And it will light the way to love Oh, arm in arm they always dream While dancing under the stars They're romancing Oh love is grand While hand in hand A modern fairytale Love, love, and it is grand
