Intro

Case seven, Glass Hill County, nine fifteen. State versus Snow. Bailiff, swear em in.

Verse 1

Doc on deck, glasses fogged, briefcase upside down, holdin' a chart, muffin theft, second quarter, our town. Your honor, I been licensed since never, read Wikipedia twelve minutes, whatever. She ate all seven blueberry, blamed forest evaporation, felony of breakfast, move for incarceration. Exhibit A, crumbs on the sill, sticky and round, paragraph nine subsection three, cameras don't exist, my memory's perfect. Objection? I don't know what it means, but I drew a pie chart, of course it's blueberry.

Pre-chorus

Seven dwarfs took the stand, seven stories, seven hands, all rise, all rise.

Chorus

Snow White on trial, the dwarfs got receipts, muffin crumbs in the carpet, forest deer at her feet. Seven angles, seven mouths, every one sweet, case closed, case open, never close, never sleep. Snow White on trial, somebody passed a note, she winked at the deer, she winked at the deer.

Verse 2

They called my name, I stood up, that's a violation. Sunrise she throws the curtains like a celebration. Birds, plural, singin' inside, that ain't a crime, a deer caught my eye before coffee, before nine. Hostage situation with antlers, she rearranged my closet, socks got dancers. Asked for silence, she brought soup, asked for soup, she brought a song. Told her don't smile at me, she smiled anyway, all mornin' long. I plead the fifth, sixth, seventh amendment, truth is, I might be a little attached, get it?

Verse 3

Hi, hello, hey, your honor, I love this room, lighting's incredible, the jury's in bloom. Reorganized the cottage? Absolutely she did, lost every pair of pants for two weeks, here's the flip, she labeled it cute, spoons, feelings, where Doc keeps his pride, society peaked when she lived inside. Brought Emergency Cookies For Emotional Situations, one cookie left, separate investigation. Cry at soup commercials? Guilty. Clap at sunsets? Guilty. My own jokes a crime in this county? Then I'm guilty, your honor, guilty.

Bridge

W-well, there was the laundry incident. She shrunk my sweater, the one that reached my knees. Now it fits a rabbit. A small rabbit. She brought me cocoa, marshmallow shaped like a heart on top. I have never recovered.

Verse 4

Dopey took the stand, one shoe, a fishin' pole, chewin' a courtroom pen like it owed him a soul. He never speaks, held up the drawings. Page one, Snow White bakin' pies, smile bigger than the cottage. Page two, Grumpy fightin' a goose, the goose is winning. Page three, the judge ridin' a dragon through traffic. The judge sighed, said, shockingly, more coherent than Doc's testimony. Dopey nodded. Dopey smiled. Dopey ate the pen.

Verse 5

Sneezy stepped up, [achoo] she dusted everythin' I love, Haven't stopped sneezin' since she moved in above. Sleepy leaned on the rail, mumbled slow, don't remember the date, the deer, the dough, but I remember she tucked me in. I let her. Your honor, we rest. We rest. We rest.

Chorus

Outro

Court finds the defendant guilty of bein' too kind for the cottage, sentenced to time served, forever, none of us are ever gettin' over her. Adjourned.
