Stepsisters’ lament.

Interprétée par Veanne Cox et Natalie Deselle.

(Minerva)
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 ?

(Calliope)
She’s a frothy little bubble.
With a flimsy kind of charm.
And with very little trouble.
I could break her little arm.

(Minerva)
Oh.

(Calliope et Minerva)
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 ?

(Minerva)
Her face is exquisite, I suppose.
But no more exquisite than a rose is.

(Calliope)
Her skin may be delicate and soft.
But not any softer than a doe’s is.

(Minerva)
Her neck is no longer than a swan’s.

(Calliope)
She’s only as dainty as a daisy.

(Minerva)
She’s only as graceful as a bird.

(Calliope et Minerva)
So why is the fella 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 ?

(Minerva)
She’s a frothy little bubble.
With a frilly sort of air.
And with very little trouble.
I could pull out all her hair.

(Calliope)
Oh. Oh.

(Calliope et Minerva)
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 ?
