Cinderella New

Cinderella New

Well hello all my name is Cinderella and it’s true,
I do a lot of work for my mother and sister that’s just old news,
I’m getting calluses, cramps and tons of bruises,
Since my family thinks I’m a slave that they can abuse.

Well I think it’s time we have a sit down chat,
‘Cause this Cinderella New is no longer going for all that.
I don’t mean to cause a spat,
But I think some changes are long overdue in this habitat.

So you say there’s no way you’re going to change your tune,
That I’ve lost my mind ‘cause it’s a full moon.
Well let me just let you know,
I’ve got a few changes here that I may now show,
If  my ideas you try to veto.

So gonna put extra starch in when I wash your underwear.
Gonna bake some brownies with Ex-Lax for you so don’t despair.
Gonna put some Crazy glue into that gel you use for your hair.
Gonna put some cayenne pepper in the stew just on a dare.
Gonna find some  bedbugs to place in your sheets so you’d best take care.

Well that’s really all I have to say,
I think it’s time I have my way.
So don’t worry sisters and mom, you’ll be just fine,
Just don’t get me mad next time,
When you’re chicken soup tastes like turpentine.
