The Work Song (Cinderella)

Author: disneytalks Categories: Characters, Movies, Music, Walt Disney

Music played a crucial role in Walt Disney’s animated Cinderella. After Ilene Woods as Cinderella sings A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes and Oh, Sing Sweet Nightingale, now it is time for the mice to sing.

The song was also written by Mack David, Al Hoffman, and Jerry Livingston. The mice includes Jaq and Gus and their other friends (either other mice or birds).

The mice would like to help Cinderella prepare her dress so she can go to the royal ball. Cinderella cannot prepare by herself because Lady Tremaine tells her to do a lot of works. When Drizella and Anastasia throw away beads and ribbon, Jaq and Gus take them to make Cinderella’s dress more beautiful.

I love Jaq and Gus… Although they seldom appear in Walt Disney movies, but I often see them in Disney comics, living with Grandma Duck and her grandnephew, Gus Goose. They are portrayed as nice and diligent mice, and Gus is like Gus Goose who likes eating very much… :D I’ll tell the story about them later…

But if you like Jaq and Gus, plus, the other mice in Cinderella like I do, I’ve found some interesting things here:

Enjoy the song… ;)

The Work Song

Every time she’d find a minute
That’s the time that they begin it
Cinderelly, Cinderelly
Cinderella!

Cinderelly, Cinderelly
Night and day it’s Cinderelly
Make the fire, fix the breakfast
Wash the dishes, do the mopping
And the sweeping and the dusting
They always keep her hoppin’
She goes around in circles
‘Till she’s very very dizzy
Still they holler
Keep a-busy Cinderelly

We can do it, we can do it
We can help our Cinderelly
We can make her dress so pretty
There’s nothing to it, really
We’ll tie a sash around it
Put a ribbon through it
When dancing at the ball
She’ll be more beautiful than all
In the lovely dress we’ll make for Cinderelly

Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry
Gonna help our Cinderelly
Got no time to dilly-dally
We gotta get a-goin’
I’ll cut with these scissors
And I can do the sewing
Leave the sewing to the women
You go get some trimmin’
And we’ll make a lovely dress for Cinderelly
We’ll make a lovely dress for Cinderelly
