BAD FAIRY
The preparations for your party are parading below me
The rarest ripest richest appetizers under
my nose
A cornucopia of crudité and caviar
And all day long I have been waiting with my door ajar
So when the royal mailman brings my invitation he’ll
know me
He’ll have something to show me

I will not be forgotten
I will shake my fairy fist
I have got such a rotten little present,
misbegotten and unpleasant
Learn your lesson, try to leave me off your list
Uninvited
Uninvited

I see I’ve fallen off the A list—well, how
very convenient
The aristocracy’s hypocrisy is making me ill
I know you’re very busy on your kingly
queenly thrones
No time to throw this faithful fairy measly
little bones
Well you will see I’m not expendable,
nor am I lenient
Here’s what you haven’t seen yet

I will not be forgotten
I will shake my fairy fist
I have got such a rotten little present,
misbegotten and unpleasant
Learn your lesson, try to leave me off your list
Uninvited
Uninvited

For I know the king and queen have planned a perfect
naming day
With their perfect food and perfect gifts, the best in
every way
Only beauty for the privileged little prune
Everyone who’s anyone will come to see and
to be seen
They’ll be all dressed up and drink too much and
prance around and preen
And serve up lies upon a silver spoon

Look at the little shriveled thing that people say is
so cute now
Nobody old or ugly’s ever gonna darken
her door
Her prideful parents think they’ve been the
very cleverest
Well they should know that one should never ever
ever test
The patience of a fairy—plus, they’ve ruined my
good repute now
Well you know that’s all moot now
I will not be forgotten
I will shake my fairy fist
I have got such a rotten little present,
misbegotten and unpleasant
Learn your lesson, try to leave me off your list
Well I will not be forgotten
I will shake my fairy fist
I have got such a rotten little present,
misbegotten and unpleasant
Learn your lesson, try to leave me off your list
Uninvited
