Fairy Tales

In Search of Cinderella

From dusk to dawn,
From town to town,
Without a single clue.
I seek the tender, slender foot
To fit this crystal shoe.
From dusk to dawn,
I try it on
Each damsel that I meet.
And I still love her so, but oh,
I've started hating feet.

Rapunzel got a Mohawk, a Mohawk, a Mohawk
Rapunzel got a Mohawk haircut yesterday.
You won't be climbing her hair, her hair, her hair.
You won't be climbing her hair.
You'd better take the stairs.
The prince called Rapunzel and asked, "What's the matter?"
She said, "I've got a new do, you'd better bring a ladder."

Turn it inside out, turn it upside down.

And Gretel got a compass, a compass, a compass.
Gretel got a compass to find her way home.

She won't be dropping bread crumbs,
She'll get home on her own.

The wolf wouldn't leave Red Riding Hood alone
So she called him up on the telephone.
She said, "Wolf?" and he said, "Whatty?"
"You'd better watch out, 'cause I know karate."

Cinderella went to night school, to night school, to night school.
Cinderella went to night school for a college degree.
She runs a cleaning business, a business, a business.
Stepmother and her sisters are her employees.

If you don't like the ending you just turn it around,
Turn it inside out, turn it upside down.

Goldilocks met the Three Bears and now they're friends
And they let her put radio collars on them.
Rapunzel got a Mohawk, a Mohawk, a Mohawk.
Rapunzel got a Mohawk haircut yesterday.
You won't be climbing her hair,
You'd better take the stairs,
You won't be climbing her hair.
You'd better take the stairs.
