[LIONEL & TOWNSPEOPLE]
The Prince is giving a ball
The Prince is giving a ball

[STEPMOTHER]
They've spread the message far and wide
The Prince is giving a ball
They say he wants to find a bride
He may find one at the ball

[CALLIOPE]
If only he'd propose to me

[MINERVA]
I wish that he'd propose to me

[STEPMOTHER]
Just leave the hair and clothes to me

[STEPMOTHER, CALLIOPE, & MINERVA]
The prince is giving a ball

[LIONEL]
Now if you please, the crown decrees
Some fois de soir with frills
A silky sateen in aubergine
A red if someone spills

A surfeit of meat, a side of ham, and lots of beef filets
Some marbleized steaks, a rack of lamb, and veal you raise to braise

Limburger, swiss in gourmandise, cheddar, gruyere, and bleu
Chunks of swiss in barrels, please, make sure that it's hole-y, too

Puddings, and pies, and rum souffles, succulent chocolate rounds
Cream puffs they can chew away to gain some royal pounds

[LIONEL & TOWNSPEOPLE]
The prince is giving a ball
The prince is giving a ball

[Instrumental]
