A DIFFERENT FAIRY TALE

Watch and complete the correct word.





I guess you think you know this____________.                              
 You don't. The real one's much more gory.
 The phoney one, the one you know,
 Was cooked up years and years ago,
 And made to____________all soft and sappy                 
 just to keep the children happy.
 Mind you, they got the first bit right,
 The bit where, in the dead of____________,                   
 The Ugly Sisters, jewels and all,
 Departed for the Palace Ball,
 While darling____________ Cinderella                                              
 Was locked up in a slimy cellar,
 Where rats who wanted things to eat,
 Began to nibble at her____________.                              
 She bellowed 'Help!' and 'Let me out!
 The Magic Fairy heard her shout.
 Appearing in a blaze of____________,                                             
 She said: 'My dear, are you all right?'
 'All right?' cried Cindy .'Can't you see
 'I feel as rotten as can be!'
 She beat her fist against the____________,                     
 And shouted, 'Get me to the Ball!
 'There is a Disco at the Palace!
 'The rest have gone and I am jealous!
 'I want a dress! I want a____________!                           
 'And earrings and a diamond brooch!
 'And silver slippers, two of those!
 'And lovely nylon panty hose!
 'Done up like that I'll guarantee
 'The handsome ____________will fall for me!'                                
 The Fairy said, 'Hang on a tick.'
 She gave her wand a mighty flick
 And quickly, in no time at all,
 Cindy was at the Palace Ball!

 It made the Ugly Sisters wince
 To see her dancing with the Prince.
 She held him very tight and ____________                       
 herself against his manly chest.
 The Prince himself was turned to pulp,
 All he could do was gasp and gulp.
 Then midnight ____________. She shouted,'Heck!       
 I've got to run to save my neck!'
 The Prince cried, 'No! Alas! Alack!'
 He grabbed her dress to hold her ____________.          
 As Cindy shouted, 'Let me go!'
 The dress was ripped from head to toe.

 She ran out in her underwear,
 And lost one slipper on the____________.                      
 The Prince was on it like a dart,
 He pressed it to his pounding heart,
 'The girl this slipper fits,' he cried,
 'Tomorrow morn shall be my bride!
 I'll visit every house in____________                                 
 'Until I've tracked the maiden down!'
 Then rather carelessly, I fear,
 He placed it on a crate of____________                             

 At once, one of the Ugly Sisters,
 (The one whose face was blotched with blisters)
 Sneaked up and grabbed the dainty shoe,
 And quickly flushed it down the loo.
 Then in its place she calmly put
 The slipper from her own left ____________.                
 Ah ha, you see, the plot grows thicker,
 And Cindy's luck starts looking sicker.

 Next day, the Prince went charging down
 To knock on all the doors in town.
 In every house, the tension grew.
 Who was the owner of the ____________?                     
 The shoe was long and very wide.
 (A normal foot got lost inside.)
 Also it smelled a wee bit icky.
 (The owner's feet were hot and sticky.)
 Thousands of eager ____________ came                          
 To try it on, but all in vain.
 Now came the Ugly Sisters' go.
 One tried it on. The Prince screamed, 'No!'
 But she screamed, 'Yes! It fits! Whoopee!
 'So now you've got to marry me!'
 The Prince went white from ear to ____________.                       
 He muttered, 'Let me out of here.'
 'Oh no you don't! You made a vow!
 'There's no ____________ you can back out now!'                        
 'Off with her head!'The Prince roared back.
 They chopped it off with one big whack.
 This pleased the Prince. He ____________ and said,                   
 'She's prettier without her head.'
 Then up came Sister Number ____________,                                 
 Who yelled, 'Now I will try the shoe!'
 'Try this instead!' the Prince yelled back.
 He swung his trusty sword and smack
 Her head went crashing to the____________.                                              
 It bounced a bit and rolled around.
 In the kitchen, peeling spuds,
 Cinderella heard the thuds
 Of bouncing____________ upon the floor,                                       
 And poked her own head round the door.
 'What's all the racket? 'Cindy ____________.                                 
 'Mind your own bizz,' the Prince replied.
 Poor Cindy's heart was torn to shreds.
 My Prince! she thought. He chops off heads!
 How could I marry anyone
 Who does that sort of thing for____________?                                          

 The Prince cried, 'Who's this dirty slut?
 'Off with her nut! Off with her nut!'
 Just then, all in a blaze of light,
 The Magic Fairy hove in____________,                                                             
 Her Magic Wand went swoosh and swish!
 'Cindy! 'she cried, 'come make a wish!
 'Wish ____________ and have no doubt                                        
 'That I will make it come about!'
 Cindy answered, 'Oh kind Fairy,
 'This time I shall be more wary.
 'No more Princes, no more ____________.                                      
 'I have had my taste of honey.
 I'm wishing for a decent man.
 'They're hard to find. D'you think you can?'
 Within a minute, Cinderella
 Was married to a lovely feller,
 A simple jam maker by trade,
 Who sold good home-made marmalade.
 Their house was filled with smiles and laughter
 And they were happy ever after.
