Ugh, forget about it

Twenty-first century
Twenty-first century

This is a fairytale
For the twenty-first century
This is a fairytale
For the twenty-first century

Prince Charming can wait for me
I'll drop him a line if-and-when I am free
Tell him he can keep his big white horse
'Cause I'll be drivin' up in my brand new Porsche
Mr. Charming can keep his castle-and-all
'Cause I'll be at the club 'stead of that lame ball
This is what a fairytale's supposed to be
Supposed to be-e-e

This is a fairytale
For the twenty-first century
No, I'm not waitin' on
Someone to come and rescue me
This is a fairytale
For the twenty-first century
Not gonna let someone
Tell me who it ought to be

Snow White, and Mopey, Dopey
And all of the rest
To keep her company
She she bit the apple?
Wait on Mr. Right to set her free
Cinderella played in the dirt with the mice
Trying on shoes but it's all very nice
But tell 'ya I got better things to do
Than sit around waitin' on some dude

Oh, my hero
Are you kidding me?

This is a fairytale
For the twenty-first century
No, I'm not waitin' on
Someone to come and rescue me
This is a fairytale
For the twenty-first century
And my happy ending
All depends on me
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Twenty-first century
Twenty-first century
Twenty-first century
Twenty-first century
This is a fairytale
For the twenty-first century

Magic kingdoms and once-upon-a-time
Ain't gonna fall for no nursery rhymes
Forget the talking mirror and all that mess
'Cause I will never be a damsel in distress... stress stress stress

This is a fairytale
For the twenty-first century
No, I'm not waitin' on
Someone to come and rescue me
No, no, no
This is a fairytale
For the twenty-first century
Not gonna let someone
Tell me who it ought to be
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Twenty-first century
Twenty-first century

This is a fairytale
