ugly stepsister's lament

The Stepsister's Lament from Cinderella (the one with Brandy)

We haven't stopped singing songs from musicals for the last couple of hours which is probably making Rachel's neighbors love us a whole lot, and when we got to this version of Cinderella, I never realized how much more I relate to the ugly stepsisters than Cinderella


Why should 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 cheeks are a pretty shade of pink, but not any pinker than roses

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

She's a frothy little bubble with a frilly sort of air And with very little trouble I could pull out all her hair!

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?!!
