Work Song {From Cinderella}
Disney Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
They always keep her hopping
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 it 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, whoo!
We'll make a lovely dress for Cinderelly!
The lyrics to Disney's song "Work Song {From Cinderella}" provide a look into the life of the titular character who lives with her cruel stepmother and stepsisters. The opening verses illustrate the exhausting routine Cinderella is subjected to on a daily basis, from preparing meals to cleaning the house. The repetition of her name, "Cinderelly," concerns not only the audience but her animal friends who are present in the scene. Her friends, who recognize her plight, rally around her to help and encourage her, forming the chorus of the song, "We can do it, we can do it, we can help our Cinderelly." While they don't alleviate all her workload, their support lifts her spirits, and in the later verses, they assist her in making a dress to attend the ball. The lyrics of the song instill the message of perseverance and friendship that is reflected in the fairy tale's ultimate outcome.

Every time she'd find a minute
Whenever Cinderella has a spare moment
That's the time that they begin it
That's when her stepmother and stepsisters find chores to give her
Cinderelly, Cinderelly (Cinderella!)
They are calling Cinderella to do chores
Night and day it's Cinderelly
Cinderella works all day and all night
Make the fire, fix the breakfast
Cinderella has to prepare breakfast and start the fire
Wash the dishes, do the mopping
After breakfast, she has to clean dishes and mop the floors
And the sweeping and the dusting
She also needs to sweep and dust the house
They always keep her hopping
She is constantly busy
She goes around in circles till she's very, very dizzy
She is so busy that she becomes disoriented
Still they holler "Keep a-busy, Cinderelly!"
Her stepmother and stepsisters urge her to keep working
We can do it, we can do it
The mice and birds are determined to help Cinderella
We can help our Cinderelly
They want to assist her with her chores
We can make her dress so pretty
They want to create a beautiful dress for Cinderella
There's nothing to it, really
It's not difficult to make the dress
We'll tie a sash around it
They plan to add a sash to the dress
Put a ribbon through it
They want to attach a ribbon to the dress
When dancing at the ball she'll be more beautiful than all
Cinderella will be the most beautiful at the ball
In the lovely dress we'll make for Cinderelly!
They will create a lovely dress for Cinderella
Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry
They need to work quickly
Gonna help our Cinderelly
They are determined to assist Cinderella
Got no time to dilly-dally
There's no time to waste
We gotta get a-goin'
They need to start working
I'll cut it with these scissors!
One of the mice will cut the fabric
And I can do the sewing!
Another mouse will sew the dress
Leave the sewing to the women
The female mice will also help out with sewing
You go get some trimmin'
Another mouse will go get decorations for the dress
And we'll make a lovely dress for Cinderelly, whoo!
Together, they will create a beautiful dress for Cinderella
We'll make a lovely dress for Cinderelly!
The mice and birds will create a lovely dress for Cinderella
