ACT ONE

1 No, no, no, no! I use no trickery.
I'm a master of Terpsichore.
2 Yes, yes, yes, yes! It's plain to see
Every eye will be on me.
3 I am sure to knock 'em dead!
Every man will lose his head.
4 Once a king who had no wife
felt a great dissatisfaction with his life.
5 Rank and beauty were offered by Cupid,
who thinks men are blind and stupid.
6 The king was not stupid, he was not blind.
He chose a bride who was honest and kind.
7 Innocent and good-hearted,
innocent and kind, tra, la, la, la!
8 Cinderella, stop singing
that same old boring song!
9 In my dreary chimney corner,
let me at least sing.
10 -Once upon a time a king...
-And twice, and three times!
11 -Will you stop it, yes or no?
If you don't, I'll... -Once upon...
12 Who is that?
13 Can you spare a bit of food?
14 Nasty beggar!
Out of here!
15 -Shh! Take this little bit of bread.
-Heaven will reward sooner than you think.
16 With my beauty and my talents,
every man will lose his balance.
17 -I can't bear to see such suffering.
-All men will sigh when I pass by.
18 -What's this! Still here?
-Eating bread? Drinking coffee?
19 -This will teach you! -Someone help me!
-Ladies, stop, for pity's sake!
