[Cinderella's Prince]
High in a tower
Like yours was, but higher
A beauty asleep
All round the tower
A thicket of briar
A hundred feet deep
Agony!
No frustration mor keen
When the one thing you want
Is a thing that you've not even seen
[Rapunzel's Prince]
I found a casket
Entirely of glass
No, it's unbreakable
Inside, don't ask it
A maiden, alas
Just as unwakable
[Both]
What unmistakable agony!
Is the way always barred?
[Rapunzel's Prince]
She has skin white as snow
[Cinderella's Prince]
Did you learn her name?
[Rapunzel's Prince]
No, There's a dwarf standing guard
[Both]
Agony!
Such that Princes must weep!
Always in thrall most
To anything almost
Or something asleep
[Cinderella's Prince]
If it were not for the thicket
[Rapunzel's Prince]
A thicket's no trick
Is it thick?
[Cinderella's Prince]
It's the thickest
[Rapunzel's Prince]
The quickest
Is pick it
Apart with a stick
[Cinderella's Prince]
Yes, but even one prick
It's my thing about blood
[Rapunzel's Prince]
Well, it's sick!
[Cinderella's Prince]
It's no sicker
Than you thing with dwarves
[Rapunzel's Prince]
Dwarfs
[Cinderella's Prince]
Dwarfs
[Rapunzel's Prince]
Dwarfs are every upsetting
[Both]
Not forgetting
The tasks unacheivable
Mountains unscalable
If it's conceivable
But unavailable
Ah
Agony!
[Cinderella's Prince]
Misery!
[Both]
Not to know what you miss
[Cinderella's Prince]
While they lie there for years
[Rapunzel's Prince]
And you cry on their biers
[Both]
What unbearable bliss!
Agony
That can cut like a knife!
Ah, well, back to my wife
