Fairy Tale Songtext

von Jenny Bruce

I know a man who'll tell a poem for ten cents
He'll wash your window for a buck
He says he used to be the drummer in a band
I guess he never had much luck

I know a woman treats her cat just like a queen
She treats her dog just like a kid
She would have had one but she never found the time
She often wished that she did

Mama this is no fairy tale
Please don't turn out the light
Mama there are dragons everywhere
And nowhere is a prince in sight

I know a dancer says she could have been the best
She fell and never danced again
I know a writer drives his taxi till the dawn
He's too tired to hold a pen

What happened to the prince
The spell that could be broke
The once upon a time that never came to pass
Who has the magic wand that's gonna make this right
Who broke the slipper made of glass

Mama this is no fairy tale
Please don't turn out the light
Mama there are dragons everywhere
And nowhere is a prince in sight

What happened to the prince
The spell that could be broke
The once upon a time that never came to pass
Who has the magic wand that's gonna make this right
Who broke the slipper made of glass

Mama this is no fairy tale
Please don't turn out the light
Mama there are dragons everywhere
So please don't say good night
Tonight....
