Here's the song lyrics


I started making a site for the film a year ago, but it never got finished (and was subsequently deleted for inactivity). Didn't want the work I put into it be a total waste, so here's the lyrics that I transcribed. I think it's pretty accurate (one or two words are iffy)....

Cinderella

Cinderella, sweep the ashes from the fireplace
Cinderella, wash and scrub up the entire place
Cinderella, polish every little widget
Sit up straight girl, don't you fuss and don't you fidget
And I wonder if I have to face this scorn
Yes, I wonder just why I was ever born

Times when I want to cry, I spy a rainbow
When life is gray, the flowers start to bloom
Or when a chilling wind begins the rain flow
I take a moment to remind me
Someone'll come along and find me
Suddenly I can smile away the gloom

Cinderella, braid my hair and just for kickers
Cinderella, darn my ‘hose and iron my knickers
Cinderella, you're a good-for-nothing wretch, girl
Where's my girdle? Goodness sakes, go run and fetch girl
And I wonder, is this all I'll ever be?
Yes, I wonder, is there nothing more to see?

(Cinderella, start it!)

When I am cold, the morning sun will warm me
When I am sad, the birds begin my song
And when, at times, my life begins to scorn me
I take a moment to remind me
Someday he'll come along and find me
And the time goes by and I am strong

Sometimes I think in a wink of an eye it'll happen
Life rearranges and changes tomorrow's tune
But just when I'm caught in a thought, I remember tomorrow
And just like today, it will be on its way too soon

So I can't be down too long or stay too lonely
For nothing can be as awful as it seems
When things go wrong, I know that I have only
To take a moment to remind me
Someone will come along and find me
And we'll be forever inside my dreams



My Kingdom Won't Come

There was a time when my scepter would climb
Whene'r a sweet lass came my way
If the damsel was built, the tilt of my kilt
Was a bold invitation to play

But now the thrill's faded, his highness is jaded
I'm rather a sad, royal bloke
Girls plead for the chance to fondle my lance
And I just fall asleep in mid-stroke

With many of them, I have tried S&M
But I get no kick from the pain
And though you may think I'm not one for a kink
I once made it with a Great Dane

I can't raise a bulge in my tunic
Per chance I'm becoming a eunuch
Or am I headed straight for the day
When I'm blissfully happy and gay?

I've known more delights than King Arthur has knights
My sex life is legend to some
But I've lost my touch and I dread it very much
The day when my kingdom won't come

Kingdom won't come
My kingdom won't come
Can't get my kingdom to come


Do It

Sweet, sexy and seductive are we
Hot honeys of the highest degree
Live, luscious ladies lying in wait
We're so fine that it must have been fate!

Do it! Do it! Do it to me!
Do it! Do it! Do it now!
Do it! Do it! Do it to me!
Do it! Do it! Do it now!

Where could you find two sensuous sisters
It's evident no man could resist us
Right from the very moment he kissed us
That the fool is a prisoner of love!

Do it! Do it! Do it to me!
Do it! Do it! Do it now!
Do it! Do it! Do it to me!
Do it! Do it! Do it now!

When we're done with him, that man's not the same
But each one of them is glad that he came
Yeah, even though we talk a good game
It's been years since we had us a man

Do it! Do it! Do it to me!
Do it! Do it! Do it now!
Do it! Do it! Do it to me!
Do it! Do it! Do it now!
Do it! Do it! Do it to me!
Do it! Do it! Do it now!
Do it! Do it! Do it to me!
Do it! Do it! Do it now!



The Royal Ball

His majesty, the king
Is going to do his thing
He's going to have a royal ball
His highness sincerely begs us to
Invite the social register
Only if they'll come one, come all

Her majesty, the queen
Will really dig this scene
She's anxious for a royal ball
It's been so many months, you see
It happened only once, you see
She wants it to be large, not small

The kingdom will be festive
With wine flowing everywhere
And feasting all around
There'll be many a buxom maiden
And many a handsome lad
And frolicking will abound

His majesty, the prince
This part of it makes me wince
Will announce in front of one and all
He's looking for someone great to be
His future mate, you see
In simpler words: the royal ball


Grab It!

Fairy Godmother
I have looted half the kingdom and I've stolen everything from Art to Zebra
They were very little zebras
Provin' I'm not prejudiced, I've ripped off Sagitarians and Libras
The Libras owned the zebras

If you can't keep up with the prices
I'll tell you what this fairy's advice is

You got to grab it
And fence it while you can
It's a livin'
So stick it to the man
Gotta grab it
If bread is what you lack
It's called a livin'
So slip it in your pack

Cinderella
Won't my family be surprised
When I make my debut?
They just won't believe their eyes
And I'm sure they'll say too...

Fairy Godmother
Shove it in your Gucci sack and load it on the back of both your zebras
I couldn't fence the zebras
My stash of ladies underwear has even got a pair of double-d bras
I put them on the zebras

At every other trade, I'm inept, so
I guess I'll spend my days as a klepto

I'm gonna grab it
And fence it while I can
‘Cuz it's a livin'
You got to stick it to the man
So better grab it
If bread is what you lack
It's called a livin'
So I slip it in my pack

Cinderella
With a fairy for a friend
I've no worries since he'll
See that there's a happy end
And I know the prince will

Cinderella & Fairy Godmother
Grab it and put it in your sack (livin')
Uh-huh
Grab it and put it in your sack (livin')
Uh-huh
Grab it and put it in your sack (livin')
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh
Grab it and put it in your sack (livin')
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, uh-huh
Grab it!


It's So Hard to Find a Man

It's so hard to find a man
I really do not understand
Why if I'm given what I got
Not even horses want to trot with me
It's so hard to find a man

Any girl with half my looks
Would have no problem laying hooks
On any princes, kings or crooks, not me
I simply cannot find a man

It's so hard to do without
When you're a lady with such passion
One can't always be in fashion
When you have to go out trashing too

It's not easy on my noives
When you know that you're a looker
Half a hardass, half a hooker
And you cannot land a schnook or two
And you cannot find a man

When I see my reflection
There's perfection oozing out of every pore
Oh, maintaining all this beauty is a duty
That I relish -- not a chore

But it's so hard to find a man
Where's that Romeo, the charmer
Dressed in underwear or armor
Who would change my lovely karma too?
Yet, I cannot find a man

Uh doodly-doo, adieu, adieu, adieu, adieu, adieu, adieu
Adieu!


Oooh, a Snapper!

The King
In all my years as king of this land, I've led an unusual life
I've run into many a beast in which, not the least of which is my wife
But now a young maiden has come along and she's made my spirit rise
With a rare and wondrous talent that lies betwixt her thighs

Oooh, a snapper!
Want to trap her!
Although I'm rather envious, I also brim with pride
That lucky son-of-a-bitch has found a snapper for his bride

The Queen
It's always a rare occasion when the king takes me to bed
Once we're there, I find he's soft, not only in the head
But now he swells about what dwells within this maiden's lap
The only thing he'll get from her is a common case of clap!

Oh, that snapper!
Want to slap her!
If I should catch her with the king, I'll tear her limb from limb
And if the prince is fortunate, I'll save a piece for him!

Lord Chamberlain
The royal family's in a state that's best described as shock
The prince is running through the halls behaving like a schmuck
The king is fleeing from the queen, not anxious to be crowned
The mystery wench departed and she's nowhere to be found

Oh, that snapper!
We'll kidnap her!
The prince must now conduct a search through hovels, homes and huts
In order to retrieve the lass who sheathed his royal putz

Everyone
Oh, that snapper!
We'll kidnap her!
The prince will now conduct a search through hovels, homes and huts
In order to retrieve the lass who sheathed his royal putz

I've run into many a beast in which, not the least of which is my wife

Actually, it's "I've run into many a beast and witch..."

Great job, though!

Is the song from the credits in your list -- i didn't recognize whether it was or not.

I thought "My Kingdom Won't Come" was pretty damn funny, especially the way the guy sang it.
