Chords for Cinderfella Dana Dane

_ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
Walked upon a job that was the [D] same
In the projects that they call for green
The living [G] man, send the fellas his [A] name
To make it [G] interesting, it's me, day to day
I left in our houses my two step [Dm] dad
And two step [A] brothers, he greeted me back
I cooked, I [G] cleaned, I scrubbed the [A] floor
Then I was like an Evan [G] boy running [N] to the store
My brothers, they used to boast and brag
We've got fresh gear and you've got rag
Even worse than that, to make me feel low
My mother gave me a straw hat while they had Kangals
Girls used to say, dang, you're so cute
But you get snow wrapped with them polyester seats
Well, one day up the avenue
There was a man surrounded by the four green crew
He said, hear ye, hear ye, come one, come all
The princess is having a rolling ball
If you can wrap all soldiers' face
You might win a ticket to sweet princess
Well, I ran home when I heard the news flash
I bust through the door straight to my step dad
I said, step dad, may I?
And before I could finish, he replied
My brothers [G] began when they were geared [A] down
Even pops was yearning for [F] a piece of their crown
They taunted, [G] they haunted, they knew what I [A] wanted
Me can and [G] you can is what they taunted
They all stood [N] there laughing in my face
And as they walked out, they said, clean up this place
To the ballet
[G] _ _ [A] Well, I'm the [G] rapper then and they were fans
To the ballet
_ [A] Yes, I'm the rapper then and [D] they were fans
When I [N] shrugged, I hissed
They all tried to diss or I'd get them back
Before I had one word
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 Herb
I'm your fairy godfather, you know it
Word, now, I came here with the main purpose
Of granting you your fondest [G] wish
I said, Herb, my man, just make me [D] fresh
You know, I'm sure that I can [G] handle all the rest
Whip a snap of his fingers before the end
[D] I was up and on my body, a slick silk slope
On my [G] feet, there was all gal [C#] socks
And a fresh pair of [G] ballet from the ballet shop
I showed him my hat
And don't you [Dm] know, whip a snap
The hat [C] became a tango
[A] Once again, his hands [Dm] began to flow
Then he changed my skateboard into a Volvo
He checked me [A] over, passed me the keys
And said, one more thing before you [N] leave
You must return before the stroke of twelve
Or you'll turn back into your old self
To the ballet _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ It's time to wrap it up, Dane, today we're failing
I jumped in the [G] Volvo and went on my [E] way
I got to the party about ten, I'd say
It was after [G] eleven, when I walked into the [A] bar
By the time I left the [G] stage, the people were hyped
The princess was staring in [A] disbelief
Reflected upon my eyebrow and [E] my goatee
She waved her [G] hands like, hello, [A] hi
Then gave another [G] gesture like, come here, guy
I left the stage, the girl came and [A] flocked
Fists were swinging from the hard rock
I heard a [G] sound, not a tick nor a [Am] tock
Gong burst, [G] velvet rose, velvet frost
No time to waste, I broke out in a [Am] haze
The princess [G] followed in a futile chase
A quick, steady pace is what I [Dm] kept
Lost one of my [G] ballets on one of those [A] steps
For the velvet rose, I continued my stride
[Dm] About this time, I heard Gong 5
I was down the [G] block when I heard Gong [C] 8
And the princess screamed out, wait, wait, wait, wait
It's time to wrap [G] it up, [A] Dane, _ [G] today we're failing
It's _ _ _ [Am] time [G] to wrap it up, Dane, today we're [N] failing
I was almost home when my lock ran out
Now there went my suit, my kangal, and clothes
My fresh bobo also went too
And there was no denying that my night was through
The one ballet [G] shoe, the freshest thing I'd [D] sported
Jumped on my board for [F] home, I skateboarded
Made it to my [G] pad, no time at [A] all
Went to my [G] room, I barely hit the floor wall
Hit the shoe away, still feeling [A] pleased
Then jumped in my car, just had some Z's
Early the next [G] morning, when I [D] awoke
I threw on me old [G] slippers and me old house coat
Went into the front, my family stared at [Am] me
Saying, wasn't that [G] you?
No, it couldn't be
They kept asking me, and so I did my chores
My butt was saved by a knock on the [N] door
Who is it?
Guess what my brother's bought
The princess and the sweet voice, bemoaned
She said she was looking 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
Bringing her shoe from everywhere
She just shook her head and utterly leaked
Saying, no, that's not the one that I'm looking 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
Who is your kangol and slick-sink-suit?
I put on the [G] shoe, there came a flash of [A] light
And I was topping the gear
From [D] just last night, looked out the [G] window
Saw the [A] Velvet, said to my [G] family, I've got to get
We drove up the avenue, the princess and [A] I
And in back of [D] me, I heard my family cry
Sing a ballad
[G] _ _ [A] But I'm [G] the rapper, day to day, we say
Sing a ballad, day to day
[A] Yes, I'm the rapper, day [D] to day, we say
Sing a [G] ballad
_ [A] Yes, I'm [G] the rapper, day to day, we
