Ding, dong, ding, dong,
Cinderella, stay in my arms!

Stay in my arms, Cinderella,
While the clock is striking I'll hold you.
At the stroke of twelve, dom't run away,
Oh, can't you hear my heart, it begs you;

To stay in my arms, Cinderella,
Maybe I'm that fellow, Prince Charming!
Since I've met you I've hasd one design;
Your wedding shoes placed next to mine!
Midnight of midnights and so divine,
Cinderella, stay in my arms!

A few minutes to midnight,
At the ball all the crowd was swaying.
Two charming people went dancing by,
And I heard him saying;

Stay in my arms, Cinderella,
While the clock is striking I'll hold you.
At the stroke of twelve, dom't run away,
Oh, can't you hear my heart, it begs you;

To stay in my arms, Cinderella,
Maybe I'm that fellow, Prince Charming!
Since I've met you I've hasd one design;
Your wedding shoes placed next to mine!
Midnight of midnights, oh so divine, (so divine)
Cinderella, stay in my arms! (stay in my arms)
