Cinderella - Unfair Lyrics

2021 West End Musical
Andrew Lloyd Webber's CINDERELLA - Unfair Lyrics


The song is written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and David Zippel.

ADELE:
You took my purple broach

MARIE:
I like it, it's an amethyst

ADELE:
Well give it back right now before I give your neck a twist

MARIE:
You stole my dress

ADELE:
Well, yes that's true
But it looks good on me and not you
This necklace is divine

MARIE:
It's real and you are counterfeit

ADELE:
That necklace should be mine
Your throat is much too fat for it

MARIE:
You are a cow

ADELE:
You take that back

ADELE and MARIE:
Or I am giving you such a smack!

It's so unfair
I don't have a thing to wear
Unfair and cruel
Life's an imitation jewel
I'm in despair
Why should I care
To leave this chair
Or get off my derriere

MARIE: (spoken)
Cindеrella!

MARIE:
I need your help right now
This gown cannot unzip itself

ADELE:
And god knows your moustachе can't bleach your upper lip itself

MARIE:
Go shine our shoes

ADELE:
Two hundred pair

ADELE & MARIE:
How can it be that life's so unfair?
Unfair, unjust I must lie down for a while
Unfair, the strain and pain to remain in style
I'm fair, so fair, folks stop and stare
Unfair, I swear it's a mighty cross to bear

STEPMOTHER:
This life is so unfair
One daughter who's an imbecile
Another half as bright
Not my idea, must be God's will
And then there's you just what I need
A thankless gift I must clothe and feed
Unfair, untoward distress I can ill afford
You are so lame at least I know who to blame
Just scrape and serve like I deserve
It's such a shame you are working my last nerve

Disgraceful, let's face it, it's you, Cinderella
You don't know your place and you never come through
You're lazy and brazen, it's true, Cinderella
A lot like your father, you're bothersome, too
You're feckless and worthless and dull, Cinderella
That we lost the prize is completely your fault
And open your eyes, take a look in the mirror
You've no sense of fashion, a visual assault

Be mindful, my kindness, though ample, is finite
I could change my mind in the blink of a lash
Get out of my sight or tonight may be my night
To show you the street when you throw out the trash
Pick up this place at once
Don't stand there like a speechless dunce
Lord, I don't ask a lot
Go dump and scrub my chamber pot
Then do the floors, get on all fours
Until they sparkle without a spot
Then dust the sills and doors

ADELE:
Refill the grout, I want no cracks

STEPMOTHER:
You must complete your chores

ADELE:
I'm due for my bikini wax

MARIE:
Where's my massage? I have a knot

STEPMOTHER:
Spit shine my boots

MARIE:
Touch up my roots

STEPMOTHER:
Just know your place

MARIE & ADELE:
And shut your face

STEPMOTHER, ADELE & MARIE:
'Cause you're our servant, like it or not
