Stepsisters' Lament

Why would a fellow want a girl like her
A frail and fluffy beauty?
Why can’t a fellow ever once prefer
A solid girl like me?
She’s a frothy little bubble
With a flimsy kind of charm
And with very little trouble
I could break her little arm!
Ow.
Ow!
Why would a fellow want a girl like her
So obviously unusual?
Why can’t a fellow ever once prefer
A usual girl like me?
Her cheeks are a pretty shade of pink
But not any pinker than a rose is
Her skin may be delicate and soft
But not any softer than a doe’s is
Her neck is no whiter than a swan’s
She’s only as dainty as a daisy
She’s only as graceful as a bird
So why is the fellow going crazy?
Oh why would a fellow want a girl like her
A girl who’s merely lovely
Why can’t a fellow ever once prefer
A girl who’s merely me?
What’s the matter with the man?
What’s the matter with the man?
What’s the matter with the man?
Yes, he’s witty
So disarming
And I really like the way he holds a room
Clever cunning
Ever charming
How do I make him see I’m special?
It’s a pity
It’s a pity
I’m as pretty
I’m as pretty
Plus I’ve got the patience
Of a perfect saint
So I’m waiting
Always waiting
Nevertheless
I’m in a mess
Loosen my dress
Help me I’m starting to faint!
Why would a fellow want a girl like her
A girl who isn’t dizzy
Why can’t a fellow ever once prefer
A high-strung girl like me
Her cheeks are a pretty shade of pink
(What's the matter with the man?)
But not any pinker than a rose is
(What's the matter with the man?)
Her skin may be delicate and soft
(What's the matter with the man?)
But not any softer than a doe’s is
Her neck is no whiter than a swan’s
(What's the matter with the man?)
She’s only as dainty as a daisy
(What's the matter with the man?)
She’s only as graceful as a bird
(What's the matter?)
So why is the fellow going crazy?
Oh, oh
Why would a fellow want a girl like her
A girl who’s merely lovely?
Why can’t a fellow ever once prefer
A girl who’s merely me?
What’s the matter with the man?
What’s the matter with the man?
What’s the matter with the man?
She’s the matter
Let me at her!!!
What’s the matter with the man?
What’s the matter with the man?
What’s the matter with the man?
What’s the matter with the man?
