Lyrics

Snow White Revisited

V1

In the twisted mind of the wicked queen.

Her daughter, Snow White, a rival seemed

She ordered the 7-year-old child abducted

Taken to the forest to be killed and gutted

Her lungs and liver to be brought back

Cooked and served as a tasty snack

Ch

Mirror, mirror on the wall

Tell me I'm the fairest of them all

Snow White, you say, is fairer than I

Therefore, Snow White must simply die

I will not lie easy in my bed

Until I know the child is dead

V2

The huntsman commanded to do this deed

A tiny twinge of conscience did feel

In the deep forest the child abandoned

To a dark, lonely fate midst animals savage

But this was not to be Snow White's plight

The moon did guide her through the night

V3

A tiny house the lost child did find

Where dwelled seven dwarfs who proved so kind

She told her story. They listened with pity

How could this befall one so young and pretty?

You may stay with us heretofore

But to all strangers, bar the door

Ch

Mirror, mirror on the wall

Now I am the fairest of them of all

Snow White, you say, is fairer than I

Snow White, you say, is still alive

How can I lie easy in my bed

Until I know that child is dead?

V4

In the twisted mind of the wicked queen

There hatched a plot, a hideous scheme

A poisoned apple, in secret created,

To ensure Snow White was exterminated

She'd go to Snow White in disguise

Beguile the child with honeyed lies

V5

Innocent Snow White was taken in

Ate the apple as the wicked queen grinned

The dwarfs returned to find Snow White lifeless

And wept at the passing of one so priceless

Placed the maid in a coffin of glass

Where she lay till a Prince did pass

Ch

Mirror, mirror on the wall

Now I am the fairest of them of all

Snow White, you said was fairer than I

Snow White, she is no longer alive

Now I will lie easy in my bed

Because I know that child is dead

V6

The prince saw Snow White, pale as death

Necrophiliac love stopped his breath

I'll take her to my castle far distant

Without her, my life will have no fulfillment

Clumsy servants the coffin did shake

Lo and behold, Snow White awaked

V7

Of marrying a prince dream most females

According to macho fairy tales.

No exception Snow White, all excited,

To her wedding the wicked queen invited

She who had Snow White cruelly abused

Danced to death in red-hot iron shoes.

Ch

Mirror, mirror on the wall

Has seen humans rise, seen them fall

Rich man, poor man, beggarman, clown

Vanity and envy bring them down

And so it will go for evermore

Humans don't learn nor from love nor war
