Lyrics
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!
