]
-
- Cinderella's Prince (CP):
- Do I abuse her, or show her disdain?
- Why does she run from me?
- If I pursue her, how shall I regain
- The heart she has won from me?
- Agony! Beyond power of speech,
- When the one thing you want
- Is the only thing out of your reach.
- Rapunzel's Prince (RP):
- High in her tower, she sits by the hour,
- Maintaining her hair.
- Blithe and becoming, and frequently humming
- A lighthearted air.. A-a-a-a-a-a-ah..
- Agony! Far more painful than yours!
- When you know she would go with you,
- If there only were doors!
- Both: Agony! Oh the torture they teach!
- RP: What's as intriguing--
- CP: Or half so fatiguing--
- Both: As what's out of reach?
- CP: Am I not sensitive, clever, well-mannered, considerate,
- Passionate, charming, as kind as I'm handsome,
- And heir to the throne?!
- RP: You are everything maidens could wish for.
- CP: Then why no?
- RP: Do I know?
- CP: The girl must be mad!
- RP: You know nothing of madness..
- ..Till you're climbing her hair, and you see her
- Up there, as you're nearing her,
- All the while hearing her 'A-a-a-a-a-a-ah.'
- Both: Agony!
- CP: Misery!
- RP: Woe!
- Both: Though it's different for each.
- CP: Always ten steps behind--
- RP: Always ten feet below--
- Both: and she's just out of reach.
- Agony, that can cut like a knife!
- I must have her to wife.
