作曲：

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've 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 hard

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 dwarfs

Dwarves

Dwarfs

Dwarves are very upsetting

Not forgetting

The task's unachievable mountains unscalable

If it's conceivable but unavailable

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
