[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
