**[Spoken — delighted, with harp glissando]** Every princess needs the perfect pair of shoes! **[beat]** Glass slippers? **[looks down]** ...Nope. **[Verse 1]** Some girls dream of slippers Made of crystal, shining bright, To wear into a ballroom And go dancing through the night. Some girls want a handsome prince To sweep them off their feet, And some just need the perfect shoes To make their look complete! Well, mine are white and bunny-bright, With buckles down the side, They're cute enough for photographs And tough enough for— **[orchestra suddenly stops]** Oh. Right. **[Pre-Chorus]** These boots were made for dancing! These boots were made for play! These boots were made for skipping Through a sunny springtime day! These boots were made for wishing! For adventures! For romance! **[FuFu notices villain]** ...And sometimes when a bad guy comes— They help me take a stance. **[Chorus]** These boots were made for— **THUMP! THUMP!** Oh, wait! **THUMP! THUMP!** Too late! I meant to sing a princess song About believing in your fate! But— **THUMP! THUMP!** Look out! That's what these boots are all about! When trouble comes around my town, These bunny boots go— **THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!** **[Woodland Choir]** *Thump-thump!* **FuFu:** You're not supposed to encourage me! **[Verse 2]** A princess talks to bluebirds, So I tried it yesterday. **[Bird chirps]** I said, “Good morning, little friend!” **[Bird chirps frantically]** He said, “BAD GUY! THAT-A-WAY!” So I skipped across the meadow With my ribbons flowing free, While butterflies and happy deer Came bounding after me! We crossed a little wooden bridge, We passed a wishing well— **[CRASH]** And then somebody learned that I Can kick— **[catches herself]** ...extremely well. **[Spoken, sweetly]** He's fine. **[distant voice]** I'm fine! **FuFu:** See? **[Pre-Chorus]** These boots were made for kindness! These boots were made for cheer! These boots were made for helping Anyone who needs me near! They're made for little curtsies! And a lovely little dance! But if somebody threatens friends... **[music darkens dramatically]** ...they're also made for **stance**. **[Chorus]** And— **THUMP! THUMP!** Oh, wait! **THUMP! THUMP!** That's great! I think I've found a princess song That actually fits my fate! It's— **THUMP! THUMP!** Stand tall! You don't need glass shoes at all! When somebody needs a helping hand, These bunny boots go— **THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!** **[Full Woodland Choir]** *THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!* **FuFu:** Okay, that was actually adorable. **[Bridge — sincere, sweeping princess ballad]** Maybe shoes don't make a princess. Maybe crowns don't make one, too. Maybe happily-ever-after Starts with choosing what you'll do. You can sparkle in the ballroom. You can dance beneath the moon. You can dream about tomorrow While you're humming your own tune. You can still believe in kindness And be strong enough to fight. Being gentle doesn't mean You can't stand up for what's right. So I'll keep my rabbit ears up, And my heart where all can see. I don't need a glass slipper... These boots work fine for me. **[enormous orchestral swell]** **[Final Chorus — key change]** THESE BOOTS WERE MADE FOR— **THUMP! THUMP!** Oh, YEAH! **THUMP! THUMP!** Take care! I've got flowers in my silver hair And stardust everywhere! I'll— **THUMP! THUMP!** Stand proud! **[Choir]** *Stand proud!* **FuFu:** Maybe slightly less loud! **[Choir, whispering]** *...thump thump...* **FuFu:** Thank you. I can sing with birds and save the day, And do it all my way! So bring the stars! Bring the song! Bring the castle right along! I'm Rebecca Halloway— And these boots were made for— **[tiny pause]** Walking. **[Villain enters]** **Villain:** Well, well, well— **FuFu:** Oh, come on. **[THUMP!!!]** **Full Choir:** **THUMP! THUMP!** **FuFu, laughing:** Okay! Sometimes thumping! **[Huge fairy-tale orchestral finale]**
