Tonight’s post is for all the Cinderellas in the world! Boys don’t often admit it, but just like girls would enjoy being swept off their feet by a prince, most boys would like to find a princess to do this for. This song realizes that impulse with a modern re-telling of the Cinderella story. It follows the classic story arch of unjust oppression/triumphant reward. I dedicate this song to these blogs with great Disney and princess content: deepdisneyconfessions, walter-disney, the-disney-difference, fuckyeahdisneyfanart, letterstodisney, disneyslove, and beliveindisneyforever.

     Cinderella, I Can Be Your Fella

When the clock struck midnight,
you ran out the door.
You were in such a hurry,
you left your coat at the bar.
It wasn’t ‘til then
I realized you came alone,
and the key to finding you
might be that coat.

Oh, Cinderella,
I can be your  fella,
I can be your man.
We can run away
together, my queen,
just take my hand.

Well, we danced for hours,
and I bought you a drink,
and you told me
you were paying your way,
living as a maid
with the ungrateful and rich,
and you have an itch
to just run away.

CHORUS

I remember your laugh,
and I remember your walk,
but I don’t remember
where you said you’re from.
So I’m gonna take your coat
to every big house in town,
and ask for the girl
that cleans the rooms.

Fans of this tune might like to know that this song will be a part of a larger album concept, which includes songs for Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, and this one for Cinderella. Just send me a message if you’d like a heads up when the digital album is released. Oh, and this is the first project on CI to feature the banjo, played by Elijah Cash. Eli crashed at my place last week after a night of heavy drinking and gambling. He was missing his shirt—which he lost on a dice roll—but had this banjo—which he won on a dice roll. Now we all profit from his winnings. Enjoy! — K.C.
