2021 West End CINDERELLA Lloyd Webber Musical - Buns 'n' Roses Lyrics
"Buns 'n' Roses" is a song performed by Rebecca Trehearn (The Queen) and ensemble.
FLOWER SELLER: Roses, glorious roses Lovingly planted fruit of the land
MILKMAIDS: Fresh milk, creamy and frothy Straight from my dairy, squeezed by my hand
RIBBON SELLER: Ribbons, colorful ribbons Truly a rainbow, simply divine
BAKER: Hot buns, check out my hot buns True, there are not buns equal to mine
MINSTREL: Oh, quelle belle matinee Oh, quelle belle journee
BAKER: (spoken) Ah, I see you're admiring my buns, child
URCHIN: (spoken) I can't afford one, sir
BAKER: (spoken) Then have one on me For no one goes hungry in Belleville!
URCHIN: (spoken) Cor! Thank you, sir!
TOWNSPEOPLE: Another day in paradise In our town so picturesque every other seems grotesque Forgive us if we brag a bit Folks from Paris and Berlin all are begging to get in
ALL MEN: For forty-nine amazing years We've won the Most Attractive Town and international renown
ALL WOMEN: Our citizens are works of art Everyone a chiseled god with a ripped and rockin' bod
TOWNSPEOPLE: This burg's been handed every accolade We've charm no other village offers We're so dependent on the tourist trade To fill our cupboards and our coffers
For forty-nine amazing years There's no town that can compete frankly If they could we'd cheat Our livelihood depends on it Travelers bless us with their feet They don't come then we don't eat
NOT CINDERELLA GIRL: Wishing on a wishing well A secret wish I shall not tell Though my little bird has overheard It will not breathe a word Longing for a prince who's kind and sweet To chimney sweep me off my feet Tell me little friend, and be discreet When will he—
NOT CINDERELLA GIRL: (spoken) Ow! Oh the little bastard bit me
TOWNSPEOPLE: We keep our dirty laundry out of sight The town of Belleville is perfection There's not a villager with cellulite There's not one blotch on one complexion
For forty-nine amazing years We've won the Most Attractive Town and international renown The fiftieth is in the bag And if we don't win it's plain Belleville's going down the drain
We hail our queen, her majesty Her agelessness, her timelessness Her effervescence, her incandescence
QUEEN: (spoken) Hello, my darling peasants
MASTER OF CEREMONIES: And His Royal Highness, Prince Sebastian
SEBASTIAN: (spoken) Hiya
LITTLE MAIDS: What a disappointment is this prince Look at him, my heart can't help but wince He's not the type on which girls set their sights Well, maybe if she squints and dims the lights Once we had the hottest prince of all Then he disappeared, he went AWOL Now his nerdy brother must step in How I really wish he had a chin
ALL WOMEN: Prince Charming was a major hunk Truly lived up to his name, Put the current prince to shame His lips could launch a thousand ships And those sparkling teeth and eyes, Don't forget those strapping thighs
TOWNSPEOPLE: Prince Charming was engaged and soon to wed
SOLO MALE: Went to slay a dragon, now he's dead
TOWNSPEOPLE: Leaving his fiancé drenched in tears
MASTER OF CEREMONIES: And our pretty city in arrears
QUEEN: I've built this tribute to my dear late son A statue of my boy in action This world class masterpiece at last is done Should be a lucrative attraction
EVERYONE: For forty-nine amazing years Though it's unlike us to boast Every other town is toast The fiftieth is in the bag Though our deficit is high with more upkeep than Versailles We mourn our prince, Prince Charming All his manliness, his flawlessness His yumminess, his gorgeousness His mightiness, prince charming
TOWNSPERSON: (spoken) Women, avert your eyes The horror! Is it a cock? I'm going to be sick
JUDGE: (spoken) This is a disgrace! To deface Prince Charming's memorial statue with such an enormous phallus! I will not be awarding Belville the prize
