SNORE WHITE AND SOME SEVERAL DWARTS

[from "Snore White and Some Several Dwarts" adapted by Joel Sattler
from a chapter in A SPANIARD IN THE WORKS by John Lennon]



Once upon upon in a dizney far away-
Say three hundred year agoal
There there lived in a sneaky forest some
Several dwarts or cretins in a row

Sleezy, Grumpty, Sneeky, Dog,
Smirkey, Alice? Derick-and Wimpey.
They all dug about in a diamond mind,
Which was rich beyond compere.

Every day when they came hulme
They would sing a song just like
Ordinary wirkers-Yo, ho!
Yo, ho! it's off to wirk we go!'

Which is silly really really
considerable they were comeing hulme.

One day howitzer the Dwarts) came home,
at aprodestant six o'cloth,
and who?-who do they find?-but who?
Snore Wife, asleep in Grumpty's loft.

But He didn't seem to mine.
Not so many a mile away, meanwife in a Carstle grand,
a womand is looging in her mirror
shouting, 'Whom is de fairy in the land?'

which doesn't even rhyme. 'Cassandle!' says the mirror.
'Chirsh O'Malley' studders the womand who
appears to be a Queen or a witch or an acorn.
Father Cradock turns round slowly from his book. 
 

Misst Cradock says 'She's talking to that mirror again.'
Father Cradock turns from the book that he is eating
and explains it's just a face she's going through
And at that age they're all the same.

'Well I don't like it one little ti,' Misst Cradock says.
Father Cradock explains she doesn't have to like it
and promptly sets fire to his elephant.
'Sick to death of this elephant I em'

Suddenly bark at the Several Dwarts home,
Snore Wife's became a firm favourite,
especially with her helping arm,
brushing away the litele bits.

'Good old Snore Wife!' thee all sage,
'Good old Snore Wife is our fave rave.'
'And I like you tooth!' rejoices Snore Wife,
'I like you all my little dwarfs.'

Without warping they hear a soddy
voice continuallykhan shoubing screeging
about apples. 'New apples for old!'
says the above voice they're hearing

'Try these nice new apples for chrissake!'
Grumpy turnips quick and answers shooting
'Why?' and they all look at him.
A few daisy lately the same voice comes hooting

aboon the apples for sale with a rarther more firm
aproach saying 'These apples are definitely for sale.'
Snore Wife, who by this time is curiously aroused,
stick her heads through the windowsill.

Anyway she bought one-
which didn't help the trade gap at all.

Little diggerydoo that it was parsened
with a de'athly arsenickers. The woman
(who was the wickered Queen in disgust)
cackled away to her carstle in the hills farfing fit to bust.

Anyway the handsome Prince who was really Misst Cradock,
found and ate the wicked Queen and smashed the mirror.
After he had done this journeyed to the house of the Several Dwarts
and began to live with them. He refused to marry Snore

Wife on account of his health,
what with her being poissoned and that,
but they came to an agreement
much to the disgust at

Sleepy-Grumpty-Sneeky-Dog-
Smirkey-Alice?-Derick and Wimpy.
The Dwarts clubbed together and didn't buy a new mirror,
but always sang a happy song. They all livered

happily ever aretor
until they died-
which somebody of them
did naturally enough.
