How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying the Musical - Cinderella, Darling Lyrics
The song is written by Frank Loesser.
SMITTY
How often does it happen at a secretary's boss,
Want's to marry her?
FEMALE ENSEMBLE
Hallelujah!
SMITTY
How often does the dream come true,
Without a sign of conflict, or barrier?
FEMALE ENSEMBLE
Hallelujah!
SMITTY
Why treat the man like he was a typhoid l carrier?
How often can you fly from this land of carbon-paper,
To the land of flowered chintz?
FEMALE ENSEMBLE
Hallelujah!
SMITTY
How often does a Cinderella get a crack at the Prince?
FEMALE ENSEMBLE
Cinderella had a prince.
SMITTY
Don't you realize, you're a real life fairy tale,
A symbol divine?
So if not for you own sake,
Please darling, for mine!
FEMALE ENSEMBLE
And mine... And mine... And mine.
Don't... Don't... Don't...
Cinderella, darling
Don't turn down the prince.
SMITTY
Don't rewrite your story.
You're the legend, the folklore
The working girl's dream of glory.
FEMALE ENSEMBLE
We were raised on you, darling,
And we've loved you ever since.
Don't mess up on measure miracle.
Don't, Cinderella,
Don't take down the prince.
SMITTY
Oh, let us live it with you,
Each hour of each day,
On from Bergdorf Goodman
To Elizabeth Harden...
People Station Wagon...
Hurry from Twenty-One...
To the Terrytown P.T.A.
No! New Rochelle.
FEMALE ENSEMBLE
New Rochelle, P.T.A.
SMITTY
Oh, do not leave us minus,
Our fight carries a bonus,
We want to see His Highness,
Marry to Your Lowness,
On you, Cinderella, sits the onus,
So when you name a happy day,
Please, phone us,
FEMALE ENSEMBLE
Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease
Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease
Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease
Oooooooooooooooooooooo
mmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Phone us
But Don't, Don't...
Don't...Cinderella, darling
Don't turn down the prince.
SMITTY
Why spoil out our enjoyment?
You're the fable,
The symbol
Of glorified unemployment.
FEMALE ENSEMBLE
We were raised on you, darling
And we've loved you ever since.
Don't blows up our favorite fairy tale
Don't, Cinderella, Don't
Don't... Don't...
Don't, Cinderella, Don't,
Don't... Don't...
Don't, Cinderella, Don't!
Don't turn down the prince.
ROSEMARY
All right! I'll give him one more chance.
FEMALE ENSEMBLE
Hallelujah!
