Playing the Role of Your Butler

Composer: Roger D. Linder (as Brad Enerson of Simply Fortescue)
Look at me, here's my lament
I work for peanuts, not a cent
Wonder where the money went?
Couldn't tell you, all is spent
Every day I work a job
That I hate, he's such a snob
Has a lifestyle of hobnob
All I do is sit and sob
Not just him, I hate his world
Not so fair to be this girl
Wanted just to be his pearl
"Marry rich, give it a whirl"
At first I found in it some joy
My fun and somewhat gallant boy
But soon found I was just a toy
To show off to the hoi polloi
Rich man's love, or just a slave?
Must obey, he misbehaves
Think I loved his aftershave
I'm alone, stuck in his cave
From his world I need to flee
"It isn't you, it must be me"
Cannot wait, oh, to be free
Princess, yes, but he's the pea
