Pushing through the darkness

Unlike my Ella and Bella who are just a delight!
Now listen carefully…
A few things while I' m out,
Write this down - don’t make me shout!!
Now.....
Wash those pans, scrub the pots,
Use elbow grease - lots and lots,
Sweep the cobwebs from the door.
Let me see my face in that floor!
Plates and dishes need washing up,
Don't you daremiss a single cup!
Beat those rugs! Clean those jugs!
And don't go wasting any time!
I want everywhere to sparkle and shine!

Buttonssings'Waterloo' with Year 5and Soldiers
My, my, at Waterloo Napoleon did surrender
Oh yeah, and I have met my destiny in quite a similar way
The history book on the shelf
Is always repeating itself
Waterloo - I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo - Promise to love you for ever more
Waterloo - Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo
My, my, I tried to hold you back but you were stronger
Oh yeah, and now it seems my only chance is giving up the fight
And how could I ever refuse
I feel like I win when I lose
Waterloo - I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo - Promise to love you for ever more
Waterloo - Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo
So how could I ever refuse
I feel like I win when I lose -
Waterloo - Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you
Waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo

Stepmother joins the dance
Half past twelve
And I'm watching the late show in my flat all alone
How I hate to spend the evening on my own
Autumn winds
Blowing outside the window as I look around the room
And it makes me so depressed to see the phone
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer
Gimmegimmegimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase these shadows away
Gimmegimmegimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
Movie stars
Find the end of the rainbow, with that fortune to win
It's so different from the world I'm living in
Tired of T.V.
I open the window and I gaze into the night
But there's nothing there to see, no one in sight
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer
Gimmegimmegimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase these shadows away
Gimmegimmegimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
Gimmegimmegimme a man after midnight
Gimmegimmegimme a man after midnight
There's not a soul out there
No one to hear my prayer
Gimmegimmegimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase these shadows away
Gimmegimmegimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
Gimmegimmegimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase these shadows away
Gimmegimmegimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day
Stepmother: Daughters, oh! You bothlook so divine!
Now, where's the girl we love to hate?
Bella:In the drawing room of course!
Ella:Cleaning out the grate!
Stepmother:Oh isn’t it lovely having a slave?
To do all of the work,
So we can misbehave!
Remember our poor lives before,
I married that poor – William Berk!
We didn't have much money,
‘Til mummy hatched her evil plan,
To marry a chap with money,
What a stupid...stupid man!
He didn't see it coming,
He didn't stand a chance,
Against us three, us clever three
He thoughtit was…true romance!
But now we must be clever again!
And catch a man for you,
With money so you will be set for life!
Prince Fernando? Yep! He'll do!
Bella:Oh, do you think so mummy?
Do you think he might choose me?
Ella:Uh… Darling don't be stupid,
I’m sure he’d much prefer…uh…ME!
Bella:How dare you, you’re not cupid!
Right I’m telling!
Stepmother:Girls…girls!
We don’t have time for this,
It’s a shame there is no brother,
If only it wasn’t for his…
Quite deluded cuckoo mother!
Now where is that girl?
Cinders: Here I am my dearest mother,
I have done my chores and
I’veeven been cleaning out the loo,
Do you think I could have a brush one day?
It would be so much easier to do!
Ella:Don't be stupid Cinders,
You always make a fuss!
Bella:People always take advantage,
When one looks as good as us! (Flicks hair)
Ella and Bella and Stepmother exit. Enter Buttons
Cinders: Oh Buttons, I' m so unhappy,
What am I to do?
Things are really awful,
And my only friend is…you!(Sigh and sad)
Buttons:Please don't cry dear Cinders,
I am your special fella,
I wish you would consent to be,
My own dear Cinderella!
Cinders: Oh Buttons, it can never be,
My Dad… I know he won't agree.
But, I do know you, so very well,
And of course, you do know me!
‘Knowing Me Knowing You’ Year 2
Buttons:Well I must go,
I have a job,
Delivering by hand,
A letter to the palace!
Don't you think that's rather grand?
Exit Buttons and Cinders - Change scene
Scene Three - The Palace
Narrator 4: We now enter the palace,
To meet the besotted King,
He fell in love so easily,
With his wife… a peculiar thing!
Narrator 1: We shouldn’t speak about the Queen like that,
We’ll let you all decide,
And if all else fails,
Behind your hands you can hide!
Footman 1:Attention!
All please rise for the King and his Prince.
I said…
All please rise for the King and his Prince.
Thank you,
All remain standing for the Queen to make her entrance!
Queen enters with music on!
King look besotted and in awe of the Queen
Queeny G:Yo! Wat’s up Llanrhidian!
Let’s get this party started and raise the roof off this place!
First things first,
My name is Queeny G!
And you are in the place to be,
The first rule that I want to see,
Is when I say Queeny,
You say ‘G’!
Are we ready?
When I say Queeny,
You say??
When I say Queeny,
You say??
Queeny…?
Respect!
Footman 1:Thank you,
Please all be seated.
King:Wow, that was dazzling darling,
Another show stopping entrance!
I don’t know how you come up with those lyrics,
They’re genius,a brilliant sentence.
Queeny G:That was nothing,
Just listen to your son,
He’s got sick lyrics,
He can write them for fun!
King:Hello Fernando.
How are you son?
Prince:I’m proper blinged out Pops!
I’ve got something I’d like to try,
It’s pretty original,
And pretty fly!
King:Well, go on son,
Let’s hear what you’ve got,
I know you practice,
A lot and a lot.
Prince:Ready…
1, 2, 3,
In the palace (wink) to be,
It’s me with Queeny G,
When I say Fernan,
You say ‘Do’.
Fernan…?(Queeny G joining in)
Fernan…?
Boyakasha! What do you think Pops?
Queeny G:Boom!
Sick!
Smashed it!
King: Fernando!
Prince:Wait…
Fernan…?
Wicked…You may continue Pops!
King:Remember, you're a Royal son,
Not any girl will do.
I’m not convinced they’ll go for that!
That should remain between me and you…
Remember what we said before…
Lots of dosh, and a fancy name,
That’s the girl for you!
Remember son, we are now poor,
Since that salesman!
Came to our door!
All those promises and those foreign tax havens,
And giving all our money to those BHS ravens!
But if we’re clever and focus on a few rich girls,
We could soon begin to reclaim mother’s pearls!
Prince:For shizzle my Popsicle,
I’m a lyrical genius,
When the girls set their eyes on me,
They’ll all go weak at the knee,
Lots of cash and a pretty face,
To get to me, will be a race,
This girl will be an awesome catch,
And will have a bank account to match!
King:I don’t know where you get this from,
This rhyming attitude,
It’s starting to concern me son,
You’re becoming rather rude!
Queeny G:Oh!! Destroyed it again!
F to the E to the RNAN,
And don’t forget the ‘Do’!
What does it spell everyone?
Obvious – FERNANDO!
Enter street urchins and they start singing 'Money, Money, Money and dance around Prince
Money, Money, Money Year 1
Buttons:A Letter your Highness from Sir William Teller,
The invitation has been gladly received,
From 2 of his daughters: Ella and Bella.
King: Ah good, I see Sir William's girls,
Are coming to the ball,
You could do worse, he's very rich,
A banker (cough) after all!
Prince:Hold up! I'd rather be no blinged out Prince,
Than marry one of that pair,
I'd rather marry Mrs Caswell,
She’s got herown teeth and hair!
Buttons:My Lord, he has three daughters,
They could all come, bring the whole lot!
Yes there are the two, who look like 2 bigtubs of lard,
But don’t forget the youngest…
Shereally is quite hot!
King:I think just two will be enough,
Of William Teller's daughters,
It's bad enough to have two guests,
That look like railway porters.
Oh have 2 more ticketsthen,
For you and this guest,
It's a tenner, just for you.
Pay the footman when you go,
But…Pay cash, we’re poor, it's true!

Scene Four
Back in the house
Cinders:It isn't fair to do all this,
I could scream and shout,
And all to make my sisters gorge,
'Cos they are going out.
Press my dress, clean my shoes,
Oh! What a pair of hags,
They don't deserve fine ball gowns,
Just two brown paper bags!
Bella:Cinders, Cinders, come on girl,
I've got to look my best,
Have you got that soup stain out of,
My favouritesilky vest?
Cinders:I've tried my best, I really have.
Bella:Now, now girl, don't you quibble,
Ella:It's hardly her fault really dear,
'cos when you eat you dribble.
Bella:Have you got the ticket sis,
I know tonight I'II shine,
I will be the dancing queen,
That prince…He will be mine!

Buttons:Such a pair of uglies,
You would never wish to meet,
A right old pair of battleships,
They almost make a fleet!
Cinders:Oh Buttons, it is so unfair!
That I must hang 'round here,
Whilst they are all excited,
Bout the party of the year.
Buttons:Never fear, for I am here,
I have created the perfect scene,
For one wee girl who'd like to be,
A beautiful dancing queen!
(Waves the tickets at Cinders)
Cinders:Uh! That's really very cruel of you!
And I’m shocked you tried to mock,
A ticket for the royal ball!
And me without a frock!
Buttons: But I meant…
A ticket for…
Dancing queen…No?
Uh…Women!
Cinders:Well! I’m so mad,
I'm really cross!
I'mdefinitely not pleased,
I'm far from happy, most distressed,
In fact, I'm propercheesed!
Enter Fairy Godmother with fairy helpers. She sings Cinderella to the tune of 'Cinderella'. There is a sign saying 'This is the Fairy Godmother. Cinderella put on new dress.

When you're upset, I will appear!

Cinderella:Oh my dress – it’s beautiful,
I don’t know what to say!
Fairy GM:Don’t say anything my dear,
It's my job - now don't delay!
Hurry or you'll miss the Prince,
You're really looking great.
We will get you to the ball,
Come on, let's not be late.
But please be back by midnight,
You know these magic frocks,
They disappear and you’ll be left…
In just your knickers and socks.
