Snow White was desperate for a fuck
She went to the woods to try her luck.

She’d almost given up looking,
When she saw some chimney smoke,
Then she stumbled on the cottage,
and went in for a poke.

Her clothes came off in seconds.
And she’d just removed her pants,
When seven dwarfs came marching in,
with a merry song and dance.

Snow White just stood there speechless,
and thought she was in heaven,
originally after one good shag,
But now she could have seven.

Straight away she took command,
"My fanny needs a lick!"
And when one dwarf moved forward,
She said "Oi-you’d better drop your pick"

So down he went onto all fours,
and said "I ain’t licking that",
"Not there, that is my arse-hole,
You DOPEY little brat!"

The next dwarf started blushing,
"Do we have to do it here?"
Snow White said "Don’t be BASHFUL,
Unless you’re a fucking queer"

So reluctantly he whipped it out,
To prove he was no fool.
And Snow White gave a big "Heigh-Ho".
As she rode upon his tool.

Now one dwarf wasn’t smiling.
Cos he hadn’t had a sniff,
and due to his impatience,
He couldn’t raise a stiff.

"Relax, you GRUMPY bastard",
So he did as he was told,
And as soon as he was hard enough,
He shot his fucking load.

The next dwarf got a blow-job,
And she took him deep quite easy,
But she just avoided brain-damage,
When he sneezed, she called him SNEEZY.

With three dwarfs left she turned and said,
"You’re next, I want your knob!"
But no sooner than he had entered her,
And he was sleeping on the job.

"Wake up you SLEEPY bastard"
She wanted more from him.
And he woke with such excitement,
that he filled her hairy quim.

The next dwarf rammed his up her,
and shagged her fanny raw,
a dazed Snow White them whimpered.
"That should be against the law."

He made poor Snow White tremble,
He was so big and thick.
"No wonder you’re so HAPPY,
With that great big fucking prick"

With one dwarf still remaining,
But feeling rather sore,
She said "You’ll have to use your tongue,
My twat can’t take no more!"

And so he put his tongue to work,
Where others had placed their cocks,
And "cos he made Snow White feel better,
She named the last dwarf DOC.

Now Snow White couldn’t do much,
With all that cum inside her quim,
So she grabbed a cup, and squatted,
And filled it to the brim.

So there’s the truth about the dwarfs,
and how they got their names,
by satisfying Miss Snow White,
and joining in her games.

There’s one more thing you need to know,
And that’s - What happened to that cup,
Well think of what you’re drinking,
when you next buy 7-Up.
