Happily Ever After lyrics

[WINNIFRED, spoken]
And so it was. Soon after his encounter with the dragon Fafner, Prince Waldere fell into the enchanted mud and before long, his head grew back. Whereupon he married the Princess Brunhild and they lived happily ever after. Well, I'm glad

(sung)
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
That 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—

(spoken)
Cinderella had outside help!

(sung)
I have no one but me
Fairy godmother, godmother, godmother!
Where can you be?
(spoken)
I haven't got a fairy godmother. I haven't got a godmother. I have a mother—a plain ordinary woman

(sung)
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

(spoken)
But there were seven of them. Practically a regiment!

(sung)
I'm alone in the night
By myself
Not a dwarf, not an elf
Not a goblin in sight!

(spoken)
That girl had seven determined little men working day and night just for her. Oh, sure, the Queen gave her a poisoned apple, but still—

(sung)
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
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

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!

(spoken)
I wonder, I could—Ugh, it'll never hold

(sung)
I'll be finished before I begin
And besides I don't want to get out—
I want to get in!

I want to live happily, happily, happily ever after
I want to walk happily out of a chapel eternally tied!
But I know that I'll never live happily ever after
'Til after
I'm a bride!
Then I'll be happily happy!
Yes, happily happy!
And thoroughly satisfied!
Satisfied!
Satis—fied!
