CINDERELLA


Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey everybody
I'm out looking for a girl
She's the sharpest one
in the whole wide world
I want to be her man
Lord, I'll catch her if I can

I met her at the bar
You know, we danced all night
When I kissed her lips
She even held me tight
disapeared by herself
when my clock struck 12

Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey Cinderella
where have you gone
I got a glass slipper
for you to try on
I want to be your fellow
Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey Cinderella

She's got a pretty long hair
and she´s five-foot-two
when she ran away
I found her glass shoe
won't somebody tell me
what I am gonna do

If you listen to what I say
You'll try strychnine some day
Make you jump, it'll make you shout
It'll even knock you out
