Stepsisters’ Lament Veanne Cox & Natalie Deselle

[MINERVA]
Why would a fellow want a girl like her
A frail and fluffy beauty?
Why can’t a fellow ever once prefer
A solid girl like me?

[CALLIOPE]
She’s a frothy little bubble
With a flimsy kind of charm
And with very little trouble
I could break her little arm!

[MINERVA]
Oh!

[MINERVA & CALLIOPE]
Oh!

Why would a fellow want a girl like her
So obviously unusual?
Why can’t a fellow ever once prefer
A usual girl like me?

[MINERVA]
Her face is exquisite, I suppose
But no more exquisite than a rose is
