Song Description

Cinderella Salmonella is the story of that guy sitting in the shadows of a cantina watching the world--and the women--go by.

Lyrics

Cinderella Salmonella by Steve Farber

The mariachi sang to me I didn't understand a word
Something about ai chi chi was the only thing I heard
Then she walked into the room filled the air with her perfume
Pulled eloté from the fire, clicked a rhythm with her spoons
Yi di dai di dai dai dai

Cinderella Salmonella I know the story well
It's a special kind of poison when the clock strikes twelve

She wore a skinny dress of blue drank tequila from her shoe
She might as well have been a broom 'cause she brushed me off across the room

Cinderella Salmonella I know the story well
It's a special kind of poison when the clock strikes twelve
So I sing my song a Capella no one is here to tell
The ladies come and the ladies go like echoes in the well

As the candles burned away shadows flickered on her face
There was nothing left to say she disappeared without a trace
So I walked into the night hoping I could catch a glimmer
If only I had been forthright if only I had let it simmer

The mariachi followed me I didn't understand a word
Something about love's disgrace was the meaning I inferred

Cinderella Salmonella I know the story well
It's a special kind of poison when the clock strikes twelve
So I sing my song a Capella no one is here to tell
The ladies come and the ladies go like echoes in the well
Yi di dai di dai dai dai
Like echoes in the well
