stepsisters' lament - richard rodgers lyrics

Loading...

[charlotte]
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 charm
and with very little trouble
i could break her little arm!!

[lady of the court]
ow. ow!

[charlotte]
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?

[a second lady of the court]
her cheeks are a pretty shade of pink

[charlotte]
but not any pinker than a rose is

[a third lady of the court]
her skin may be delicate and soft

[charlotte]
but not any softer than a doe’s is

[a fourth lady of the court]
her neck is no whiter than a swan’s

[lady]
she’s only as dainty as a daisy

[charlotte]
she’s only as graceful as a bird
so why is the fellow going crazy?

[charlotte & the ladies of the court]
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?

[charlotte]
yes, he’s witty
so disarming
and i really like the way he holds a room

clever cunning
ever charming
how do i make him see i’m special?
it’s a pity

[ladies of the court]
it’s a pity

[charlotte]
i’m as pretty

[ladies of the court]
i’m as pretty

[all]
plus i’ve got the patience
of a perfect saint

so i’m waiting
always waiting
nevertheless
i’m in a mess

[charlotte]
loosen my dress
help me i’m starting to faint!

[ladies of the court]
why would a fellow want a girl like her
a girl who isn’t dizzy
why can’t a fellow ever once prefer

[charlotte]
a high-strung girl like me

[charlotte (and women)]
her cheeks are a pretty shade of pink
(what’s the matter with the man?)
but not any pinker than a rose is
(what’s the matter with the man?)
her skin may be delicate and soft
(what’s the matter with the man?)
but not any softer than a doe’s is

her neck is no whiter than a swan’s
(what’s the matter with the man?)
she’s only as dainty as a daisy
(what’s the matter with the man?)
she’s only as graceful as a bird
(what’s the matter?)

[all]
so why is the fellow going crazy?
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?

[ladies of the court]
what’s the matter with the man?
what’s the matter with the man?
what’s the matter with the man?

[charlotte]
she’s the matter
let me at her!!!

[charlotte & ladies of the court]
what’s the matter with the man?
what’s the matter with the man?
what’s the matter with the man?

[charlotte]
what’s the matter with the man?
