"A Very Nice Prince" Lyrics

[CINDERELLA]

He's a very nice Prince.

[BAKER'S WIFE]

And-?

[CINDERELLA]

And-

It's a very nice ball.

[BAKER'S WIFE]

And-?

[CINDERELLA]

And-

When I entered they trumpeted.

[BAKER'S WIFE]

And-?

The Prince-?

[CINDERELLA]

Oh, the Prince...

[BAKER'S WIFE]

Yes, the Prince!

[CINDERELLA]

Well, he's tall.

[BAKER'S WIFE]

Is that all?

Did you dance?

Is he charming? They say that he's charming.

[CINDERELLA]

We did nothing but dance.

[BAKER'S WIFE]

Yes-? And-?

[CINDERELLA]

And it made a nice change.

[BAKER'S WIFE]

No, the Prince!

[CINDERELLA]

Oh, the Prince...

[BAKER'S WIFE]

Yes, the Prince.

[CINDERELLA]

He has charm for a Prince, I guess...

[BAKER'S WIFE]

guess?

[CINDERELLA]

I don't meet a wide range.

[BAKER'S WIFE]

Did he bow?

Was he cold and polite?

[CINDERELLA]

And it's all very strange.

[BAKER'S WIFE]

Did he speak? Did he flirt?

Could you tell right away he was royalty?

Is he sensitive,

Clever,

Well-mannered,

Considerate,

Passionate,

Charming,

As kind as he's handsome,

As wise as he's rich,

Is he everything you've ever wanted?

[CINDERELLA]

Would I know?

[BAKER'S WIFE]

Well, I know.

[CINDERELLA]

But how can you know what you want

Till you get what you want

And you see if you like it?

[BAKER'S WIFE]

Would I know?

[CINDERELLA]

All I know is-

[BAKER'S WIFE]

I never wish-

[CINDERELLA]

What I want most of all-

[BAKER'S WIFE]

Just within reason.

[CINDERELLA]

Is to know what I want.

[BAKER'S WIFE]

When you know you can't have what you want,

Where's the profit in wishing?

[BOTH]

He's a very nice Prince...

[BAKER'S WIFE]

What I wouldn't give to be in your shoes.

[CINDERELLA]

Will you look over there, an enormous beanstalk

growing next to that little cottage.

[BAKER'S WIFE]

I mean slippers as pure as gold.

[CINDERELLA]

I must get home.

[BAKER'S WIFE]

I need you shoes.

Wait!
