Glass Slipper (for Anna Nicole)
Anna Nicole as Cinderella. .. close to a final mix.
Acoustic fingerstyle singer-songwriter; kind of a mashup of Leonard Cohen, Nellie McKay, Stuart Davis, Jason Mrasz, with a little Martin Simpson thrown in. Working on my CD, that I hope will be out this Spring: "The Suburban Book of the Dead."
Lyrics
Cinderella, poor and pretty.
Wanted more than the life she lived
Left her high school, for the city
And to see what the world could give.
With some magic, and some pictures
She was seen across the land
Soon the princes, came a calling,
A glass slipper in their hand.
Just fill up the glass slipper
Thats all you need to do
Youll have a crown and a place in town
More money than you know what to do. . .
Cinderella, chose her prince.
He might have been, a little old
Whats 20-30-60 years
When he offers you that crown of gold.
But when May, marries December
Winters not too far behind
Soon the prince, had kicked the bucket
Cinderella was next in line.
Just fill up the glass slipper
Thats all you need to do
If the courts agree, very soon you see
More money than you know what to do . . .
Cinderella, in her castle
Waited for her ship to come in
Cinderella, had the doctor
Make her up some magic potion.
Cinderella, with her potion
Lost all of those extra inches
Changed her rat, into a lawyer
And some lizards into princes Just fill up the glass slipper
Thats all you need to do
With her princes and her lawyer, she
Felt better than she knew what to do. . .
Cinderella, had a daughter
Who would share in her estate
What did it matter, whos the father?
She had a fortune in probate
The problem with, a magic potion
As every fairy tale knows
It can change, into a poison
If you take an overdose
Just fill up the glass slipper
Thats all you need to do
Cinderella, sleeps forever
But her fairy tale is not through
The problem was, Cinderellas daughter
It was such a big debate
Cause her father, would inherit
Cinderellas whole estate
So the princes, and the lawyers
Lined up with their outstretched hand
They had slept with, Cinderella
So her fortune, they demand.
Just fill up the glass slipper
Said the man from the laboratory
He took their best and made his test
Now we know the end of Cinderellas story!
