I'm just a jobbing poet seeking biographic poetry,

Come one, come ten, come all,

I'll write about those magic moments in your history,

Cinderella at the royal ball.



I'll capture special stories from your memory,

Come one, come ten, come all,

Imprinted in your mind or written in your diary,

Cinderella at the royal ball.



I'm looking for your 15 minutes of fame,

When you were the central player

In life's sweet game,

So come on, it's your call,

Cinderella at the royal ball.



So, drag out the thesaurus,

Scan through the diction'ry,

Come one, come ten, come all,

This syncopating shanty's your shortcut lit'rary,

Cinderella at the royal ball.

Cinderella at the royal ball.

Cinderella at the royal ball.
