1
Once upon a time, Brooklyn was the scene
2
In the project that they called Fort Greene
3
There lived a young man, Cinderfella's his name
4
To make it interesting it's me, Dana Dane
5
I lived in a house with my cruel step-dad
6
And two step-brothers who treated me bad
7
I cooked, I cleaned, I scrubbed the floors
8
And I was like an errand boy runnin' to the stores
9
My brothers, they used to boast and brag
10
We've got fresh gear and you've got rags
11
Even worse than that, to make me feel low
12
They gave me a straw hat, while they had Kangols
13
Girls used to say, 'Dane, you're so cute
14
But you gets no rap with them polyester suits
15
Well, one day, up the avenue
16
There was a man surrounded by the Fort Greene crew
17
He said, "Hear ye! Hear ye! Come one, come all!
18
The princess is having a royal ball
19
If you can rap, also dress fresh
20
You might win a date with the sweet princess"
21
Well I, um, ran home when I heard the newsflash
22
I bust through the door, straight to my step dad
23
I said, "Step dad, may I?"
24
And before I could finish, "Hell no!", he replied
25
My brothers were goin', they were geared down
26
Even Pops was goin' for a piece of the crown
27
They flaunted, they haunted, they knew what I wanted
28
'We can and you can't is what they taunted
29
They all stood there laughing in my face
30
And as they walked out they said, "Clean up this place"
31
Cinderfella Dana Dane
32
But I'm the rapper Dana Dane with fame
33
Cinderfella Dana Dane!
34
Yes, I'm the rapper Dana Dane with fame
35
Well I shrugged, I hissed, They're all tryna diss
36
I'd get them back if I had one wish'
37
Before I could make my thought a phrase
38
There appeared a man from a puff of haze
39
He said, "What's up, Dane? My name is Hurb
40
I'm your fairy godfather, you know it, word
41
Now I've came here with the main purpose
42
Of granting you your fondest wish"
43
I said, hurb, my man, just make me fresh
44
And I'm sure that I can handle all the rest
45
With a snap of his fingers sparks began to shoot
46
And I was tough and on my body, a slick silk suit
47
On my feet there was argyle socks
48
And a fresh pair of Ballys from the Bally shop
49
I showed him my hat and don't you know
50
With a snap the hat became a Kangol
51
Once again his hands began to flow
52
Then he changed my skateboard into a Volvo
53
He checked me over, passed me the keys
54
And said, "One more thing before you leave
55
You must return before the stroke of twelve
56
Or you'll turn back into your old self"
57
Cinderfella Dana Dane
58
But I'm the rapper Dana Dane with fame
59
Cinderfella Dana Dane!
60
Yes, I'm the rapper Dana Dane with fame
61
I jumped in the Volvo, went on my way
62
I got to the party 'bout ten, I'd say
63
It was after eleven when I rocked the mic
64
And by the time I left the stage the people were hyped
65
The princess was staring in disbelief
66
Reflected from her eyes were my gold teeth
67
She waved her hands like, "Hello, hi"
68
Then gave another gesture like, come here, guy
69
I left the stage, girls came in flocks
70
Fists were swingin' from the hard rocks
71
I heard a sound, not a tick nor tock
72
Gong, first bell before twelve o'clock
73
No time to waste, I broke out in haste
74
The princess followed in a futile chase
75
A quick steady pace is what I kept
76
Lost one of my Ballys on one of those steps
77
For the Volvo I continued my stride
78
About this time I heard gong five
79
I was down the block when I heard gong eight
80
And the princess scream out, "Wait, wait, wait, wait"
81
Cinderfella Dana Dane
82
But I'm the rapper Dana Dane with fame
83
Cinderfella Dana Dane
84
Yes, I'm the rapper Dana Dane with fame
85
I was almost home when my luck ran out
86
And there went my suit, my Kangol and clothes
87
My fresh Volvo also went too
88
And there was no denyin' that my night was through
89
The one Bally shoe the freshest thing I sported
90
Jumped on my board, for home I skateboarded
91
Made it to my pad, no time at all
92
Went to my room, or better yet the far wall
93
Hid the shoe away still feelin' pleased
94
Then jumped in my cot to catch some Z's
95
Early the next morning when I awoke
96
I threw on me old slippers and me old housecoat
97
Went into the front, my family stared at me
98
Sayin', "Wasn't that you? Nah, it couldn't be"
99
They kept askin' me as I did my chores
100
My butt was saved by a knock on the door
101
"Who is it?", that's what my brothers barked
102
"The princess", this sweet voice remarked
103
She said she was lookin' for a certain man
104
Who could bring her the shoe like the one in her hand
105
The family ran around with their heads in the air
106
Bringin' on shoes from everywhere
107
She just shook her head, and nod of relief
108
Sayin', "No, that's not the one that I'm lookin' for, chief"
109
I ran in the room and got my shoe
110
And said, "Is this the one you're referring to?"
111
Well she said, "Yes, and you're so cute
112
But where's your Kangol and slick silk suit?"
113
I put on the shoe, there came a flash of light
114
And I was tough in the gear from just last night
115
Looked out the window, saw the Volvo
116
Said to my family, "I've got to go"
117
We drove up the avenue, the princess and I
118
And in back of me I heard my family cry
119
Cinderfella Dana Dane
120
But I'm the rapper Dana Dane with fame
121

122
Yes, I'm the rapper Dana Dane with fame
123
Cinderfella
124
Yes, I'm the rapper Dana Dane with fame
