mirror mirror i see a damsel

Violent Femmes

I see a damsel
In danger and distress
I see that she is pretty
I see a young girl
Dressed in a dirty dress
I see that she is pretty
Mirror mirror on the wall
Who s the fairest one of all
I see a fat girl
With her hair a mess
I see that she is pretty
I see a proud girl
She s pregnant I would guess
I see that she is pretty
Mirror mirror on the wall
Who s the fairest one of all
Mirror mirror do not fail
Who deserves to go to jail
I see the school girls
Dressed in their Sunday best
I see that they are pretty
I see the wagon trains
Of pioneer women heading west
I see that they are pretty
Mirror mirror on the wall
Who s the fairest one of all
Creature Creature, here the plan
Leads unto the fall of man
I see a matron
Unbuttoning a tightly fitting dress
I see that she is pretty
I see a maiden
She s careless like all the rest
I see that she is pretty
Mirror mirror on the wall
Who s the fairest one of all
Mirror mirror do not fail
Who deserves to go to jail
Mirror mirror on the wall
Who s the prettiest one of all
Mirror mirror humor me
Do they see what I see
