Wedding Guests
What a glorious day!
What a beautiful bride!
Did you see how the king
Stood there beaming with pride?
It's so strange this excitement
I'm feeling inside...
Grand Duke
All because of a shoe!
When she ran from the ball,
She gave no reason why
So I searched all the land,
But came up high and dry!
Footman
'Til a dish maid in rags
Gave the slipper a try!
Grand Duke
At last my search was through...
All
All because of a shoe!
The Grand Duke
(Spoken) Oh, your majesty, you must be positively delighted!
King
Finally, the palace won't seem so empty,
Once they've a baby won't life be sweet?
King and Grand Duke
What could be better than the
Pitter-pat of little feet?
Wedding Guests
Joy to the father and king,
May all your days be filled with light!
King and Grand Duke
There's nothing standing in our way
All
Let the bells ring out on this magic day!
Prince
I'm the luckiest prince,
That the world's ever known
Cinderella
I'm no longer afraid,
I'll live life all alone
Both
'Cause with you, I am twice
Who I was on my own!
Wedding Guests
Here's to love that's true
All
All because of a shoe!
Anastasia
(spoken) Cinderella stole my prince! My one true love.
Drizella
Your true love? Clearly the prince and I were meant for each other.
Anastasia
Oh, who could love a troll like you?
Lady Tremaine
Anastasia! Drizella! How many times must I tell you? Above all...
All Three
Self-control.
Lady Tremaine
(sung) Why, why, why should a girl like Cinderella
End up married and content?
I cry, cry, cry for my more deserving daughters,
For whom the finer life was meant.
Anastasia and Drizella
Mother, if only we could do something,
We could be happy like we once were.
Instead of living happily never after stuck with her!
Anastasia
(spoken) I hate you!
Drizella
I hate you more!
Anastasia
I hate you most!
Drizella
This is all your fault!
Anastasia
Is not!
Drizella
Is too!
Anastasia and Drizella
Mother!!!
Crowd
(sung) Hail the Princess and Prince!
Hail the moment they met!
Hail this red-letter day!
We shall never forget!
Lady Tremaine
Why should she be so happy
All Three Tremaines
While we're so upset?!
Crowd
Hail these happy two,
Anastasia
I was the bride-to-be!
Crowd
Starting life anew,
Drizella
It should be me!
Cinderella and Prince
Forever after, me and you,
All
All because of a....
Lady Tremaine
(spoken) Who could have imagined my entire life would be ruined...
All
All because of a shoe!
