(Sung by Shirley but not used in the film)
What do we all read a story book for
What do we look for, when it is through?
What does every Cinderella sigh for
What does she try for, till dreams come true?

Happy ending, with all our troubles behind
Happy ending, that's what we're trying to find!
Why didn't Cinderella waver? What made her braver?
She knew the Prince would come and save her!

Happy ending, the best of wonderful times
Always ending, just like in nursery rhymes!
May each thing you pray for bring you
Joy and laughter, ever after
Happy ending to you all!

Happy ending, with all our troubles behind
Happy ending, that's what we're trying to find!
Why didn't Cinderella waver? What made her braver?
She knew the Prince would come and save her!

Happy ending, the best of wonderful times
Always ending, just like in nursery rhymes!
May each thing you pray for bring you
Joy and laughter, ever after
Happy ending to you all!
