Alice In Wonderland
In A World Of My Own
I'm Late

All In A Golden Afternoon
A Very Merry Un-Birthday
Painting The Roses Red


Alice in Wonderland
Chorus

Alice in Wonderland, how do you get to Wonderland?
Over the hill or under land, or just behind the tree?

When clouds go rolling by, they roll away and leave the sky
Where is the land, beyond the isles
That people cannot see, where can it be?

Where do stars go, where is the crescent moon?
They must be somewhere, in the sunny afternoon

Alice in Wonderland, where is the path to Wonderland?
Over the hill or here or there, I wonder where



In A World Of My Own
Alice

Cat and Rabbits, would reside in fancy little houses
and be dressed in shoes and hats and trousers
In a world of my own

All the flowers, would have very extra special powers
They would sit, and talk to me for hours
when I’m lonely, in a world of my own

There’d be new birds
lots of nice, and friendly how-de-do birds
Everyone would have a dozen bluebirds
within that world of my own

I could listen to a babbling brook, and hear a song
that I could understand
I keep wishing, it could be that way
because my world would be
A wonderland



I’m Late
White Rabbit

I’m late, I’m late, for a very important date!
No time to say hello, goodbye!
I’m late, I’m late, I’m late!

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, I’m overdue
I’m really in a stew
No time to say goodbye, hello!
I’m late, I’m late, I’m late!



How D' Ye Do And Shake Hands
Tweedledee & Tweedledum

How d' ye do and shake hands
Shake hands
Shake hands
How d' ye do and shake hands
State your name and business


The Walrus And The Carpenter
Tweedledee & Tweedledum

The sun was shining on the sea
Shining with all it's might
He did his very best to make
The billows smooth and bright
And this was odd because
it was
The middle of the night

The Walrus and the Carpenter
Were walking close at hand
The beach was wide from side to side
But much too full of sand

Mr. Walrus said the Carpenter
My brain begins to perk
We'll sweep this clear
in 'alf a year
If you don't mind the work

The time has come
The Walrus said
To talk of other things
Of shoes and ships and sealing wax
And cabbages and kings
And why the sea is boiling hot
And whether pigs have wings
Calloo, callay
no work today
We're cabbages and kings

Walrus speaks
Oh, oysters
Come and walk with us
The day is warm and bright
A pleasant walk, a pleasant talk
Would be a sheer delight

Carpenter speaks
Should we get hungry on the way
We'll stop and have a bite

Walrus speaks
Ahem!

Tweedledee & Tweedledum
But mother oyster winked her eye
And shook her heavy head
She knew too well
This was no time to leave her oyster bed
The sea is nice
Take my advice
Stay right here
Mum said

Walrus
The time has come, my little friends
To talk of other things
Of shoes and ships and sealing wax
Of cabbages and kings
And why the sea is boiling hot
And, whether pigs have wings
Ho, ho!

Calloo, callay
Come run away
We're the cabbages and kings

The time has come my little friends
To talk of food and things

Carpenter
Of peppercorns and mustard seed
And other seasonings
We'll mix them altogether
In a sauce that's fit for kings
Calloo, callay
we'll eat today
Like cabbages and kings

Walrus
I, uh...
I weep for you
I deeply sympathize
For I've enjoyed your company
Much more than you realize

Carpenter
Little oysters
Little oysters

Tweedledee & Tweedledum
But answer there came none
And this was scarcely odd because
They'd been eaten
Everyone!

We're cabbages and kings!




Flowers & Alice

All Flowers
Little bread and butterflies kiss the tulips
and the sun is like a toy balloon

There are get up in the morning glories
in the golden afternoon

There are dizzy daffodils on the hillside
strings of violets are all in tune
Tiger lilies love the dandy lions
In the golden afternoon, the golden afternoon

There are dog and caterpillars and a copper centipede
where the lazy daisies love the very peaceful life they lead…
You can learn a lot of things from the flowers
for especially in the month of June

There’s a wealth of happiness and romance
all in the golden afternoon…
All in the golden afternoon, the golden afternoon

Alice
You can learn a lot of things from the flowers
for especially in the month of June
There’s a wealth of happiness and romance, oh….

Flowers
…the golden afternoon!

Painting The Roses Red
Cards & Alice

Cards
Painting the roses red
We’re painting the roses red
We dare not stop or waste a drop
So let the paint be spread

We’re painting the roses red
We’re painting the roses red!
Painting the roses red, and many a tear we shed
Because we know, they’ll cease to grow
in fact they’ll soon be dead
Noooo!
And yet we go ahead
Painting the roses red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red
Painting the roses red
We’re painting the roses red…

Alice
Oh pardon me, but mister Three
why must you paint them red?

Cards
Huh? Oh!
Well, the fact is miss, we planted the white roses by mistake
And the queen she likes them red
If she saw white instead, she’d raise a fuss
and each of us would quickly lose his head!

Alice
Goodness!

Cards
Since this is the thought we dread
we’re painting the roses red!

Alice
Oh, dear
Let me help you
Painting the roses red…

Alice & Cards
We’re painting the roses red
We’re painting the roses red
Don’t tell the queen what you have seen
or say that’s what we said, but
we’re painting the roses red…

Alice
Yes, painting the roses red..

Cards
Not pink, not green…

Alice
Not aquamarine…

Alice & Cards
We’re painting the roses red!

Queen of Hearts
Who dares to taint
with vulgar paint
The royal flower bed?
For painting my roses red
Someone will lose his head

Cards

They’re going to lose their heads
for painting the roses red
It serves them right
they planted white
the roses should be red
Oh, they’re going to lose their head…
