Cinderella, Darling lyrics

[SMITTY]
How often does it happen that a secretary's boss
Wants to marry her?

[WOMEN]
Hallelujah

[SMITTY]
How often does the dream come true
Without a sign of conflict or barrier?

[WOMEN]
Hallelujah

[SMITTY]
Why treat the man like he was a typhoid carrier?
How often can you fly from this land of carbon-paper
To the land of flowered chintz?

[WOMEN]
Hallelujah

[SMITTY]
How often does a Cinderella get a crack at the prince?

[WOMEN]
Cinderella and the 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

[WOMEN]
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

[WOMEN]
We were raised on you, darling
And we've loved you ever since
Don't mess up a major miracle
Don't, Cinderella
Don't turn down the prince

[SMITTY]
Oh, let us live it with you
Each hour of each day
On from Bergdorf Goodman
[WOMEN, variously]
To Elizabeth Arden
In the station wagon
Hurry from Twenty-One
To the Tarrytown P.T.A. 

[ROSEMARY, spoken]
No!
New Rochelle

[WOMEN, SMITTY]
New Rochelle, P.T.A. 
(Please) Oh, do not leave us minus
(Please) Our vicarious bonus
(Please) We want to see his highness
(Please) Married to your lowness

[SMITTY]
On you, Cinderella, sits the onus
So when you name the happy day
Please phone us

[WOMEN]
Phone us!
But don't, don't
Don't, Cinderella, darling
Don't turn down the prince
Don't louse up our favorite fairy tale
Don't, Cinderella
Don't turn down the prince
[Dance break.]

Don't louse 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, spoken]
Alright, I'll give him one more chance

[WOMEN]
Hallelujah!
