Once Upon a Mattress - Happily Ever After

[@soliriz7160]

Princess Winifred: I'm totally satisfied
Angelica Schuyler: I'm not satisfied.

[@ConMan-ye4ou]

What's funny is that both Tracy Ullman and Denis O'Hare went on to do another fairytale musical, Into The Woods. O'Hare played The Baker in the revival, and Ullman played Jack's Mother in the film.

[@INOBT100]

The best Winnifred

[@ayoayo1097]

My school has to do this play for our school and thank you for making this public! I always have to end up paying for the play JUST for this song!

[@LiveLoudandLiveAlive]

Tracey does this song with the most spunk and I think this song needs that.

Winnifred should have been a great Disney princess even lady Larkin would have been a good Disney princess too

[@latoyalewis]

I had no idea she could sing. Awesome.

[@IDontWantThisStupidHandle]

That's how she (partially) got her start, singing (among acting out skits and doing stand-up) on her variety show.

They all lived happily happily happily ever after
The couple is happily leaving the chapel eternally tied
As the curtain descends there is nothing but loving and laughter
When the fairy tale ends the heroins always a bride
Ella the girl of the cinders
Did the wash and the walls and the winders
But she landed a prince who was brawny and blue eyed and blond
Still I honestly doubt that she could ever have done it without that
Crazy lady with the wand--Cinderella had outside help
I've got no one but me
Fairy godmother godmother godmother where can you be?
I haven't got a fairy godmother. I haven't got a godmother.
I have a mother. A plain, ordinary woman.
Snow White was so pretty they tell us
That the queen was insulted and jealous
When the mirror declared that Snow White was the fairest of all
She was dumped on the border
But was saved by some men who adored her
Oh I grant you they were small
But there were 7 of them practically a regiment
I'm alone in the night
By myself not a dwarf not an elf not a goblin in sight
That girl had 7 little men working day and night just for her
Oh sure the queen gave her a poisoned apple. even so
She lived happily happily happily ever after
A magical kiss counteracted the apple eventually
Though I know I'm not clever I'll do what they tell me I hafta
I want some happily ever after to happen to me
I want to walk happily out of the chapel eternally tied
For I know I'll never live happily ever after till after i'm a bride
Then I'll be happily happy
Yes happily happy
And thouroughly satisfied

Anyone notice at 2:56 she kicked the books and they hit the candle? That could've been bad...

{Winnifred Pade of the myre
Has one simple human desire
Oh I ask for no more that two shoes on the floor next to mine
Oh someone to fly and to float with
To swim in the marsh and the moat with
As for this one well, he'd be fine
But now it's all up to me!
And I'm burning to bring it about
If I don't I'll be stuck with goodbye and good luck and get out
I don't want to get out I want to get in
I wanna get into some happily happily ever after}
I want to walk happily out of the chapel eternally tied
For I know I'll never live happily ever after till after i'm a bride
Then I'll be happily happy
Yes happily happy
And thouroughly satisfied

[@violaheartstring8216]

Okay, but now I'm just picturing Belle from Once Upon a Time...?

[@caril.9384]

Why do I feel like Winnifred inspired Fiona from Shrek?

[@IGuessThisIsHello]

I mean at least in the musical version Winnifred is canonically Farquaad’s mother

[@chrissteed8170]

To quote Grumpy, “Hogwash!”

[@centerfold8]

I remember when this broadcasted on ABC 7
