You Shall Go to the Ball
SIDESADDLE
You shall go to the ball, Cinderella
I’ll take you for a ride
VELCRO
Yes, you shall go to the ball, lucky fella
Your carriage waits just step inside
SIDESADDLE
I can’t do tricks with pumpkins
Nor no horses from white mice
But who needs veg and vermin
When you’ve got me for half price
VELCRO AND SIDESADDLE
You shall go to the ball, Cinderella
SIDESADDLE
I’ll get you there alright
VELCRO AND SIDESADDLE
Yes, you shall go to the ball I can tell a
Lot is up for grabs
You’ve got the best of cabs tonight
DANA (speaker)

CLODAGH AND DANA
You’d never think two scrubbers
Could have got tarted up quite this well
LORD BELLINGHAM
Those who raise an eyebrow at the age gap
Need to keep their nose from my affairs
Gossips may think
That I’m dating a twink but who cares?
You shall go to the ball, Cinderella
With all that boyish charm
Yes, you shall go to the ball as my belle
A handsome trinket on my arm
ROBBIE
How did i let you talk me into this?
He just gives me the creeps
VELCRO
Maybe one should be more particular
About places one sleeps
ROBBIE
Sorry Cro, I know it’s not clever
Doing this is not what I’d ever choose
MARILYN
Here we go again, the golden couple

WILLIAM
This could really be the litmus test
MARILYN (spoken)
How is this!
WILLIAM

And schmooz every single last guest
ROBBIE
How did I let you talk me into this
I feel weak at the knees
VELCRO
It’s not everyday you go partying
Not with people like these
SIDESADDLE
Come on guys! Enough hesitating
Can’t you see your carriage is waiting now
COMPANY
You shall go to the ball, Cinderella
Go where the lights are bright
Yes, you shall go to the ball, lucky fella
Your carriage waits just step inside
I can’t do tricks with pumpkins
Nor no horses from white mice
But who needs veg and vermin
When you’ve got me for half price
You shall go to the ball, Cinderella
Go for a night of glitz
Yes, you shall go to the ball, Cinderella
And mingle with those pompous gits
LORD BELLINGHAM (spoken)
