Lyrics
- Midnight, what a witching hour
Midnight, when the whole world dreams
That’s when every young Prince Charming
Sings to his Cinderella, it seems
Chorus
Pretty Cinderella
What’s a “fella” going to do?
When he’s feeling lonely
And needs only someone like you
Would you come and cheer him
Linger near him, when he’s blue
Tell me “no” or “yes”
Come on now confess, please do
Just like Jackie Horner
In a corner I sit and sigh
Lots of love and kissin’
I am missin’, I don’t know why
Wonder if I’ll have to wait very long
Just to find out whether I’m right or wrong
Pretty Cinderella
Tell a “fella” what he should do
- Moonlight sees lovers dreaming
Love dreams that they hope come true
Sweethearts plan their honeymooning
Can I plan, Cinderella for you
