It's midnight, Cinderella, but don't you worry none
'Cause I'm Peter, Peter the Pumpkin Eater
And the party's just begun

I guess your Prince Charming wasn't, after all
'Cause he sure seemed different right after the ball
I guess more than horses are turnin' into rats
And by the way he's walkin'
I can guess where your slipper's at

It's midnight, Cinderella, time that you should know
There's gonna be some changes in the way this story goes
It's midnight Cinderella, but don't you worry none
'Cause I'm Peter, Peter the Pumpkin Eater
And the party's just begun

I'm gonna help you get over bein' under that spell
You're gonna learn to love midnight inside this pumpkin shell
I gotta few new magic tricks your godmother can't do
I'll show you what it means to
Bip, bip, bip, bip, boppity boo

It's midnight, Cinderella, time that you should know
There's gonna be some changes in the way this story goes
It's midnight, Cinderella, but don't you worry none
'Cause I'm Peter, Peter the Pumpkin Eater
And the party's just begun

I'm Peter, Peter the Pumpkin Eater
And the party has now begun
