The Original Broadway Cast of Cinderella
Impossible
MARIE
Impossible
For a plain yellow pumpkin
To become a golden carriage!
Impossible
For a plain country bumpkin
And a prince to join in marriage
And four white mice
Will never be four white horses
Such fol-de-rol and fiddledy dee dee
Of course is
Impossible!
But the world is full of zanies and fools
Who don’t believe in sensible rules
And won’t believe what sensible people say
And because these daft and dewy-eyed dopes
Keep building up impossible hopes
Impossible things are happenning every day!
ELLA
Impossible!
MARIE
Impossible!

ELLA
But if you could be a beggar woman not five minutes ago and now are my fairy godmother, then anything is possible, right?
MARIE
I suppose so
ELLA
You could change it all. You could make it all happen
MARIE
No, but you could change it. You could make it all happen
ELLA
Never. I couldn’t
MARIE
You’re right. It’s all so-
Impossible
For a plain yellow pumpkin
To become a golden carriage
Impossible
For a plain country bumpkin
And a prince to join in marriage
And four white mice
Will never be four white horses –
Such fol-de-rol and fiddledy dee
Of course is
Impossible!
ELLA
But the world is full of zanies and fools
Who don’t believe in sensible rules
And won’t believe what sensible people say
ELLA and MARIE
And because these daft and dewy-eyed dopes
Keep building up impossible hopes
Impossible things are happ’ning every day!
