Dopey

Remember your very first movie?

I surely remember mine

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

It was nineteen thirty-nine!

Went to a matinee with my parents

“Sit still!” my mother said

Saw two movies and a funny cartoon

Still dancing round in my head!

I remember being really frightened

By the sight of the wicked old Queen

Soon as Dopey came bouncing along

Happy times returned to the screen!

The music's been here for all my life

“Whistle While You Work”

And “Someday My Prince Will Come”

That's when my ears start to perk

Sure don't make 'em like that anymore

Now they're 3-D animated gems

Amazing but I long for the simpler ones

Sure wish I could live 'em again!
