Once upon a time, in the L.B.C.
On the Eastside, off of 2-1 Street
There lived a young man, Cinderfella's
his name
To make it interesting it's me,
peep game
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 Fubu, and you've got
rags!"
And even worse than that, to make
me feel low
They gave me a skateboard, while
they had low-lows
Girls used to say, "Snoop, you're
so cute
But you gets no rap with that to'
up khaki suit"
Welllll, one day, up the Avenue
There was a man, surrounded by
the Dogg Pound crew
He said ah, "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 (Cinderfella!)
My brothers were goin, they were
gettin down
Even Pops was goin for a piece
of the crown (Cinderfella!)
They flaunted, they haunted, they
knew what I wanted
"We can and you can't," is what
they taunted (nana-nana-nah-nah)
They all stood there, laughin in
my face
And as they walked out they said,
"Clean up this place!"
(Cinderfella Doggy Dogg!)
And I'm the rapper Doggy Dogg you
love
(Cinderfella Doggy Dogg!)
And I'm the rapper Doggy Dogg you
love
(Cinderfella Doggy Dogg!)
And I'm the rapper Doggy Dogg you
love
(Cinderfella Doggy Dogg!)
And I'm the rapper Doggy Dogg you
love
Well I shrugged, I hissed, they
all tried to diss
And 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, Dogg? My name
is Herb
I'm your fairy Doggfather, you
know it, word!
Now I've came here with the main
purpose
Of granting you your fondest wish"
I said, "Herb, 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 jumpin in my body: a
slick silk suit
On my feet was some white tube
socks
And a fresh pair of Chucks from
the Foot-lock
I showed him my sack, and don't
you know
With a snap, the sack became some
doe-doe
Once again his hands began to flow
Then he changed my skateboard into
a six-fo' (damn!)
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 Doggy Dogg!)
And I'm the rapper Doggy Dogg you
love
(Cinderfella Doggy Dogg!)
And I'm the rapper Doggy Dogg you
love
I jumped in the low-low and 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 (well alright!)
The princess was starin, while
holdin a drank
Reflected from her eyes was gold
tank
She waved her hands like, "Hello!
Hi!"
Then gave another gesture like,
"Come here, guy!"
I left the stage, girls came in
flocks
The bitch was swingin from the
hard knocks
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 Chucks on one of
those steps
For the six-fo' I continued my
stride
About this time I heard gong five
I was down the block when I heard
gong eight
And the princess screamed out,
"Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait!"
(Cinderfella Doggy Dogg!)
And I'm the rapper Doggy Dogg you
love
(Cinderfella Doggy Dogg!)
And I'm the rapper Doggy Dogg you
love
I was almost home when my luck ran
out
And there went my suit, my doe
sack and clout
My fresh low-low, also went too
And there was no denyin that my
night was through
The one All-Star, 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 mornin, when I awoke
I threw on me old slippers with
me old housecoat
Slid into the front, my family
stared at me
Sayin, "Wasn't that you?
Nah, it couldn't be"
They kept askin me if I did my
chores
My butt was saved by a knock at
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 her shoes from everywhere
She just shook her head, a nod
of relief
And said, "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 doe-doe and slick
silk suit?"
I put on the shoe, then there came
a flash of light
And I was wearin shit, from just
last night
Looked out the window, saw the
six-fo'
Yelled 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 Doggy Dogg!)
And I'm the rapper Doggy Dogg you
love
(Cinderfella Doggy Dogg!)
And I'm the rapper Doggy Dogg you
love
(Cinderfella Doggy Dogg!)
