Once upon a time

Brooklyn was the scene

In the project that they called Fort Greene

There lived a young man

Cinderfella's his name

To make it interesting it's me Dana Dane

I lived in a house with my cruel step-dad

And two step-brothers who treated me bad

I cooked I cleaned I scrubbed the floors

And I was

Like an errand boy runnin' to the stores

My brothers they used to boast and brag

We've got fresh gear and you've got rags

Even worse than that to make me feel low

They gave me a straw hat while they had Kangols

Girls used to say 'Dane you're so cute

But you gets no rap with them polyester suits

Well one day up the avenue

There was a man surrounded

By the Fort Greene crew

He said

Hear ye Hear ye Come one come all

The princess is having a royal ball

If you can rap also dress fresh

You might win a date with the sweet princess

Well I um ran home when I heard the newsflash

I bust through the door

Straight to my step dad

I said Step dad may I

And before I could finish Hell no

He replied

My brothers were goin'

They were geared down

Even Pops was goin' for a piece of the crown

They flaunted

They haunted they knew what I wanted

'We can and you can't is what they taunted

They all stood there laughing in my face

And as they walked out they said

Clean up this place

Cinderfella Dana Dane

But I'm the rapper Dana Dane with fame

Cinderfella Dana Dane

Yes I'm the rapper Dana Dane with fame

Well I shrugged I hissed

They're all tryna diss

I'd get them back if I had one wish'

Before I could make my thought a phrase

There appeared a man from a puff of haze

He said What's up Dane

My name is Hurb

I'm your fairy godfather

You know it word

Now I've came here with the main purpose

Of granting you your fondest wish

I said hurb my man

Just make me fresh

And I'm sure that I can handle all the rest

With a snap of his fingers sparks began to shoot

And I was tough and on my body

A slick silk suit

On my feet there was argyle socks

And a fresh pair of Ballys from the Bally shop

I showed him my hat and don't you know

With a snap the hat became a Kangol

Once again his hands began to flow

Then he changed my skateboard into a Volvo

He checked me over passed me the keys

And said One more thing before you leave

You must return before the stroke of twelve

Or you'll turn back into your old self

Cinderfella Dana Dane

But I'm the rapper Dana Dane with fame

Cinderfella Dana Dane

Yes I'm the rapper Dana Dane with fame

I jumped in the Volvo went on my way

I got to the party 'bout ten I'd say

It was after eleven when I rocked the mic

And by the time

I left the stage the people were hyped

The princess was staring in disbelief

Reflected from her eyes were my gold teeth

She waved her hands like

Hello hi

Then gave another gesture like

Come here guy

I left the stage girls came in flocks

Fists were swingin' from the hard rocks

I heard a sound not a tick nor tock

Gong first bell before twelve o'clock

No time to waste I broke out in haste

The princess followed in a futile chase

A quick steady pace is what I kept

Lost one of my Ballys on one of those steps

For the Volvo I continued my stride

About this time I heard gong five

I was down the block when I heard gong eight

And the princess scream out

Wait wait wait wait

Cinderfella Dana Dane

But I'm the rapper Dana Dane with fame

Cinderfella Dana Dane

Yes I'm the rapper Dana Dane with fame

I was almost home when my luck ran out

And there went my suit

My Kangol and clothes

My fresh Volvo also went too

And there was no denyin' that

My night was through

The one Bally shoe the freshest thing I sported

Jumped on my board

For home I skateboarded

Made it to my pad

No time at all

Went to my room

Or better yet the far wall

Hid the shoe away still feelin' pleased

Then jumped in my cot to catch some Z's

Early the next morning when I awoke

I threw on me old slippers

And me old housecoat

Went into the front my family stared at me

Sayin' Wasn't that you Nah

It couldn't be

They kept askin' me as I did my chores

My butt was saved by a knock on the door

Who is it that's what my brothers barked

The princess this sweet voice remarked

She said she was lookin' for a certain man

Who could bring her the shoe

Like the one in her hand

The family ran around with their heads in the air

Bringin' on shoes from everywhere

She just shook her head and nod of relief

Sayin'

No that's not the one that I'm lookin' for chief

I ran in the room and got my shoe

And said Is this the one you're referring to

Well she said Yes and you're so cute

But where's your Kangol and slick silk suit

I put on the shoe there came a flash of light

And I was tough in the gear from just last night

Looked out the window saw the Volvo

Said to my family I've got to go

We drove up the avenue the princess and I

And in back of me I heard my family cry

Cinderfella Dana Dane

But I'm the rapper Dana Dane with fame

Cinderfella Dana Dane

Yes I'm the rapper Dana Dane with fame

Cinderfella

Yes I'm the rapper Dana Dane with fame
