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! |
| Oh oh 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 face is exquisite I suppose, |
| but no more exquisite than a rose is. |
| Her skin may be delicate and soft |
| but not any softer that a doe’s is. |
| Her neck is no longer that 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?! |
| She’s a frothy little bubble |
| with a frilly sort of air |
| and with very little trouble |
| I could pull out all her hair! |
| Haha ha ha! |
| 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?! |
