The Cinderella working song: Cinderella
Deleted Disney Song
The song is a deleted song from Cinderella, that was written as part of a deleted sequence in which after being told by Lady Tremaine that she could only go to the ball if she completed all her chores, Cinderella dreamed of what it would be like if she could duplicate herself in order to have someone to help her with her work.
It's quite a beautiful song. Can be found on the Cinderella platinum DVD set
Cinderella: I'm up with the sun to do whatever must be done
The house is falling apart
I really don't know where to start.
It's work, work, work there is so much work
I'm lost before I start.
There is just one of me
Might as well be none of me
Don't know where one begins
If I had a wish to wish
I'd wish that I were twins.
There's so much to do
So very, very much to do
Before I go to the Ball
It's gonna be a lovely ball
If I don't do what I have to do
I won't get there at all.
Cinderella/Imaginary Cinderella: There are just two of us
Two is just a few of us
We should be many more
If we had a wish to wish
We'd wish that we were four.
Cinderella: The Ball, the Ball, the Ball the Ball
It will be a lovely ball
The Ball, the Ball, the Ball the Ball
Such a lovely ball.
Lady Tremaine/Anastasia/Drizella (offscreen): Cinderella! Cinderella, Cinderella, Cinderella, Cinderella!
Cinderella: There's so little time
So very, very little time
And I must fashion a dress
I'd love to have a lovely dress.
I'm so afraid that the plans I've made
Will end up in a mess.
Cinderella/Imaginary Cinderellas: There are just four of us
We could use much more of us
Time is short and it's late
If we had a wish to wish
We'd wish that we were eight.
Cinderella: A dress, a dress, a dress, a dress
Have to have a lovely dress
A dress, a dress, a dress, a dress
Such a lovely dress.
Lady Tremaine/Anastasia/Drizella (offscreen) : Cinderella! Cinderella, Cinderella, Cinderella, Cinderella!
Cinderella: There's too much to do
I'll never get my day's work through
Before I go to the Dance
It's gonna be a lovely Dance.
I'm in a fix, in an awful fix
and I don't have a chance.
Cinderella/Imaginary Cinderellas: There are just eight of us
How we hate the fate of us
All day long our backs are bent
If we had a wish to wish
We'd be a regiment.
Cinderella: A dress for the Ball, a dress for the Ball
Have to have a dress for the Ball
A dress for the Ball, a dress for the Ball
Need a dress for the Ball.
Lady Tremaine/Anastasia/Drizella (offscreen) : Cinderella! Cinderella, Cinderella, Cinderella, Cinderella!
Cinderella: How grand it would be
If really, there were more of me
But when it's all said and done
The fact remains you're only one.
