Careful My Toe Lyrics by Christine Baranski

NARRATOR
As the Prince anxiously waited,
The stepmother took matters and Florinda's foot into her own hands.

FLORINDA
Careful my toe.

THE STEPMOTHER
Darling I know.

FLORINDA
What'll we do?

THE STEPMOTHER
It'll have to go,
But when you're his bride
You can sit or ride,
You'll never need to walk.

FLORINDA
**Scream**

NARRATOR
Minus one toe,
Florinda mounted the Prince's horse,
Unaware of the blood dripping from the slipper.

Lucinda was next.

LUCINDA
Why wont it fit?

THE STEPMOTHER
Darling be still,
Cut off the bit of the heel and it will,
And when you're his wife,
You'll have such a life,
You'll never need to walk.

LUCINDA
**Loud Scream**

NARRATOR
Minus a heel,
Lucinda did her best to swallow the pain.

THE STEPMOTHER
It's a perfect fit your highness.
