(Enter Cinderelder, with boxes)

Cinders

Oh Buttons, have you seen my pa?

Buttons

He can't have gone off very far,
I think he went to check his cash.

Cinders

The mean old thing, he's got a stash
Of readies hidden safe away,
But won't spend it on me today.

Fairy Godmother

Won't spend on you? You're not at all
The girl I helped get to the ball!

Cinders

Don't give me that you soaked up tart,
I s'pose you think you're pretty smart
In changing rats to things so fast,
But not for long - it didn't last.

Fairy Godmother

You thankless child!

Cinders

You drab old queen!

Buttons

Now ladies, please! Don't make a scene,
We've got to start this wretched show.

Fairy Godmother

Well please yourself - I'll let you know!
