O Cinderella - Richard Thompson

I’ve been drifting along with a skeleton crew

Two-Gun O’Grady and Blackjack and Willie Mulgrew

But I run into trouble the day that I run into you

I thought you was looking for money stuffed under the bed

(O Cinderella, o Cinderella)

You were talking to the mirror, I thought you was gone in the head

(O Cinderella, o Cinderella)

But you were just saying Hail Marys to comfort the dead

(O Cinderella, o Cinderella)

O Cinderella, your rags are so chic

Do they come off the peg at your favorite boutique?

Could you please spare the time to run an old tar up the creek?

Well I hope that you’re listening, I’m stating my case

I’ll say it again till I’m blue in the face

O Cinderella, I’m not very house-trained, it’s true

But I want to make cupcakes with you

O Cinderella, you run like I’m Jack the Ripper

(O Cinderella, o Cinderella)

Won’t you trade up your rags and slide your foot in this slipper?

(O Cinderella, o Cinderella)

You’re working-class cool, but a glass slipper is hipper

(O Cinderella, o Cinderella)

O Cinderella, your rags are so chic

Do they come off the peg at your favorite boutique?

Could you please spare the time to run an old tar up the creek?

Well I hope that you’re listening, I’m stating my case

I’ll say it again till I’m blue in the face

O Cinderella, I’m not very house-trained, it’s true

But I want to dust cobwebs with you

Cobwebs with you

(O Cinderella)

I want to dust cobwebs with you

(O Cinderella)

(O Cinderella)

(O Cinderella)
