Lyrics

Poor barefoot Cinderella
By the cold hearth sang a cappella
Woe is me, oh woe is me
Despite my grief, despite my pleas
My loving mother barely dead
A new wife shares my father's bed
An evil woman whose sole delight
Is to make my life a sorry plight

My stepsisters are two Cruellas
I am their slave, sweet Cinderella
All day long, from dawn to dusk
I wash their clothes that smell of musk
Now they're off to the palace ball
But I won't get to go at all
How long can this dreadful life go on?
Won't some kindly person hear my song?

Cinderella, oh Cinderella
Dreaming of a life that's stellar
After a life of heavy chores
You really deserve something more
A handsome, filthy rich Prince Charming
Who'll marry you and call you darling

I've been treated so unfairly
But wait! Is that my guardian fairy?
Please, oh please grant me my wish
To go the ball, a night of bliss
Oh thank you! Now my life is bright
Yes, I'll be back before midnight
In my beautiful dancing shoes
I'll be the one the Prince will choose

Oh dear, I've danced the night away
I must go home before light of day.
I must hurry, I must flee
I see the Prince searching for me
My heart is pounding, I'm pursued
Running, stumbling, I lose a shoe
Never again the Prince will I see
He'll just remain a beautiful dream

Cinderella, oh Cinderella
Your Prince is a pretty strange fella
Seems to be a foot fetishist
Women's feet he's obsessed with
Considers nothing to be finer
Than the tiny feet of ancient China

High and low, attic to cellar
The prince looks for his Cinderella
Proclaims he'll take as his wife
The woman whose foot the shoe fits right
My stepsisters' feet will not go
One cuts off a heel, one a toe
Bleeding all over the tiny shoe
A truly horrible sight to view

The shoe fits me to perfection
My prince is all love and affection
My stepsisters, most dismayed
Came unwanted to my wedding day
No doubt they thought I would forgive
Help them a richer life to live
But it was their fate to be chastized
Black crows pecked out their hating eyes

Cinderella, oh Cinderella
Living now like a Rockefeller
Has a huge collection of shoes
Hubby is just over the moon
Nothing at all in life he does lack
A contented podophiliac
