Snow White is doing dishes again cause what else can you do with seven itty-bitty men?

That's a quote from my new favorite song of the week: Fairytale by Sara Bareilles. She was one of the lucky artists to have a free iTunes song of the week download months ago. Her stuff was actually one of the few great downloads and people went crazy over her. I bought the whole CD, which I rarely do on iTunes. Mitzi introduced me to her with her song, Long Song. I was hooked as soon as I listened to that song. She is singing part of it in a current Rhapsody commercial that's on now.

Anyway ... her lyrics for Fairytale are FANTASTIC!
I thought I would share them. If you get a chance to hear the song, they are much better with her singing them than they are just being read.

Cinderella's on her bedroom floor
She's got a
Crush on the guy at the liquor store
Cause Mr. Charming don't come home anymore
And she forgets why she came here
Sleeping Beauty's in a foul mood
For shame she says
None for you dear prince, i'm tired today
I'd rather sleep my whole life away than have you keep me from dreaming

Cause i don't care for your fairytales
You're so worried bout the maiden
Though you know she's only waiting on the next best thing

Snow White is doing dishes again cause
What else can you do
With seven itty-bitty men?
Sends them to bed and calls up a friend
Says will you meet me at midnight?
The tall blonde lets out a cry of despair says
Would have cut it myself if i knew men could climb hair
I'll have to find another tower somewhere and keep away from the windows

Cause i don't care for your fairytales
You're so worried bout the maiden
Though you know she's only waiting on the next best thing

Once upon a time in a faraway kingdom
Man made up a story said that i should believe him
Go and tell your white knight that he's handsome in hindsight
But i don't want the next best thing
So i sing and hold my head down and i break these walls round me
Can't take no more of your fairytale love

Cause i don't care for your fairytales
You're so worried bout the maiden
Though you know she's only waiting on the next best thing
I don't care
I don't care
Worry bout the maiden
Though you know she's only waiting spent the whole life being graded on the sanctity of patience and a dumb appreciation
But the story needs some mending and a better happy ending
Cause i don't want the next best thing
No no i don't want the next best thing


Here she is singing Fairytale live. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZ96N59XuL4
