A New Song for Snow White

you gotta know the Brothers Grimm
got it all wrong
so I'm settin' the record straight
with this song
yeah, my stepmom was a capital B bitch
so I went to my father with my pitch
I said,"Dad, can't you do any better than THAT?
She makes me scrub the floors and tells me
that I'm fat. And she's always staring at the
mirror and conversing with herself in an
extremely odd voice...throw another ball and
make a better choice!"
my father knew I wasn't speakin' no lie
so he ditched Baby Jane
and gave Lady Elaine a try
but I was fourteen and itchin' for a change
so I moved in with seven little dudes
even though they seemed kinda strange
sleepin' in one small room
their beds all in a neat row
but they paid a pretty penny so I gave it a go
I swept I mopped I busted my ass
washin' their dishes and Windexin' their glass
until one day I bought a bad Snapple
from a Mr. Juice truck
my crazy former stepmom was Mr. Juice in disguise
and I was outta luck
I fell to the ground
and was presumed dead
the seven little dudes went so far as to
put me in a crystal bed
not even thinkin' to call 911
then left me there in the middle of a meadow
to burn in the sun
until a paramedic on a picnic
saw me flutter my eyes
so he gave me CPR
and to my surprise
I was still alive
and all a tingle
so I asked the paramedic if he was single
he said yeah
I said Great
Now if you don't mind robbin' the cradle,
how about a date?
he said You're Jail Bait, Babe, But You
Sure are Pretty
so he took me to the Village in
New York City
we listened to the blues and drank some beer
He said Bob Dylan Used to Play Here
well, it didn't last but we had fun while it did
happily ever after, hell
I was just a kid!
