Don't ask me what on earth prompted me to write a fairy tale filk. For some reason I had the urge to combine Cinderella with Savage Garden's 'Animal Song'. Unfortunately Savage Garden only seems to have about three fans these days, so... never mind. But enjoy.

The Royalty Song

When stepsisters are mean to me, my parents are both dead
My stepmother freaks out, makes me clean up everywhere
Working makes me tired, I've been wishing on a star
I've got to run away
So grant my wish now

'Cause I want to live like royalty
Rolling in cash like royalty
I want to rest, I want live in a palace
With jewels in my hair and some silk for my feet

I'm going to have some difficulties getting to the ball
Please my Fairy Godmother, can you help me at all?
Horses draw my carriage, they are mice, I do not lie
Fairy turned my pumpkin
To the carriage that I ride

I'm dancing in the palace,
I'm dancing with the prince, yeah
I would like to go and marry him
I'd like to marry him, yeah

'Cause I want to live like royalty
Rolling in cash like royalty
I want to rest, I want live in a palace
With jewels in my hair and some silk for my feet

Sometimes those women get me down
They're so abusing
There's so many chores to finish
So I'll leave it
And I'll just run away with my prince

When stepsisters are mean to me, my parents are both dead
My stepmother freaks out, makes me clean up everywhere
I ran out from the palace, and my slipper left behind
Now the prince is coming,
Now he wants to find his bride

I'm living in the palace
I'm living with my prince, yeah
He would like to share his wealth with me
He would like to give me cash, yeah

'Cause my fiancé is royalty
Rolling in cash and royalty
I get to rest, I get live in a palace
With jewels in my hair and some silk for my feet

Like royalty...
