[ Featuring Paul Gemignani, Chuck Wagner ]
High in a tower
Like yours was, but higher
A beauty asleep
All 'round the tower
A thicket of briar
A hundred feet deep
Agony!
No frustration more keen
When the one thing you want
Is a thing that you've not even seen
I found a casket
Entirely of glass
No, it's unbreakable
Inside, don't ask it
A maiden, alas
Just as unwakeable
What unmistakable
Agony!
Is the way always barred?
She has skin white as snow
Did you learn her name?
No
There's a dwarf standing guard
Agony
Such that princes must weep!
Always in thrall most
To anything almost
Or something asleep
If it were not for the thicket
A thicket's no trick
Is it thick?
It's the thickest
The quickest
Is pick it
Apart with a stick
Yes, but even one prick
It's my thing about blood
Well, it's sick!
It's no sicker
Than your thing with dwarves!
Dwarfs
Dwarfs
Dwarfs are very upsetting
Not forgetting
The tasks unachievable
Mountains unscalable
If it's conceivable
But unavailable
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Agony!
Misery!
Woe!
Not to know what you miss
While they lie there for years
And you cry on their biers
What unbearable bliss!
Agony
That can cut like a knife!
Ah well, back to my wife...
