WINNIFRED They all live 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 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'y got a Fairy Godmother I haven't 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 her 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 poison apple. Even so... She lived happily, happily, happily ever 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 Winnifred, Maid of the Mire Has one simple human desire Oh I ask for no more Than two shoes on the floor next to mine Someone to fly and to float with To swim in the marsh and the moat with As for this one... well, he'd be fine And I'm burning to bring it about If I don't, I'll be stuck with goodbye And good luck and get out But I don't want to get out! I wanna get in I want to get into some happily, happily, happily ever after I want to walk happily out of the chapel eternally tied For I know that I'll never live happily ever after Till after I'm a bride And then I'll be happily happy Yes, happily happy And thoroughly satisfied
