Heather Dale - Snaps And Snails lyrics

CHORUS: Snaps and snails and dragon's tails And banners white and red These are the pieces of the dreams That dance about my head, tra-la That dance about my head My father is a gallant knight As everyone must see With armour bright and belt of white And a helm as big as me And I shall be my father's squire My hobby-horse I'll ride With father's sword in both my hands I'll stand proud by his side (CHORUS) My mother is a lady fine As surely all agree With visage rare and raven hair And arms for holding me I'll buckle on my squire's red belt And ride forth on a quest And I'll rescue her from dangers foul Before my morning rest (CHORUS) Our castle seems so very big But the neighbours' seems big too Five days a week My parents go and do what parents do But then there is the weekend With their gowns and armour bright And both my parents look The way they do in my dreams each night My eyelids are so heavy now My mother's at my side I think I'll take a little nap And off to dreamland glide Where I will mount my hobby-horse To save my mother fair And stand beside my father And watch dragons take to air Snaps and snails and dragon's tails And banners white and red These are the pieces of the dreams That dance about my head, tra-la That dance about my head
