Stepsisters' Lament 歌詞
Stepsisters' Lament - Cecile McLorin Salvant/Oscar Hammerstein/Richard Rodgers
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 air
And with very little trouble
I could pull out all her hair
Oh oh why would a fellow want a girl like her
A girl who's so 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 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 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
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
