Cinderella Bugaloo
By DeAnne Wiley
Edison Elementary

My name is Cinderella and I'm here to say
I cook, clean, and sew everyday
Sometimes I'm dressed in rags
Sometimes I'm treated mean
But mostly I just sit by the fire and dream

Stepmothers, stepsisters, and lots of work too
Doing the Cinderella Bugaloo!

And then one day there was a ball
I wondered why I couldn?t go at all
But when my Fairy Godmother appeared
I knew that she should not be feared

Magic, kindness, and wishes too!
Doing the Cinderella Bugaloo!

I looked so pretty with my gown and all
I could not believe that I was off to the ball
It was there that I met a handsome man
Turns out he was the prince of the land

Princes, castles, and kingdoms too!
Doing the Cinderella Bugaloo!

I had to leave before it was midnight
Or else my carriage would disappear from sight
But I forgot the time and it was too late
I ran from the ball and away from my date

Running, hurrying, and really late too!
Doing the Cinderella Bugaloo!

I did not know that I had lost my glass shoe
The prince was looking for the girl he knew
He wanted to make his princess and wife
And when it fit me, I started a new life

Fairy tales, dreams, happy endings too!
Doing the Cinderella Bugaloo!
