CHORUS ALICE

ALICE IN WONDERLAND, CATS AND RABBITS WOULD RESIDE
HOW DO YOU GET TO WONDERLAND? IN FANCY LITTLE HOUSES
OVER THE HILL OR UNDER LAND AND BE DRESSED IN SHOES AND HATS
OR JUST BEHIND THE TREE? AND TROUSERS
(In a world of your own.)
WHEN CLOUDS GO ROLLING BY (And he was so angry at General George
Washington that he made his own royal
THEY ROLL AWAY AND LEAVE THE SKY.
soldiers dress in bright red uniforms that blah
WHERE IS THE LAND BEYOND THE EYE blah blah blah blah blah,)
THAT PEOPLE CANNOT SEE?
ALL THE FLOWERS WOULD HAVE
WHERE CAN IT BE?
VERY EXTRA SPECIAL POWERS,
THEY COULD SIT AND TALK TO ME
THE CAUCUS RACE (perform the lines in BOLD)
(Prizes! Prizes? Prizes, prizes, prizes!) FOR HOURS WHEN I’M LONELY
(In a world of your own.)
FORWARD, BACKWARD,
VERY GOOD ADVICE (perform the lines in BOLD)
INWARD, OUTWARD,
I GIVE MYSELF VERY GOOD ADVICE
BOTTOM TO THE TOP.
BUT I VERY SELDOM FOLLOW IT.
NEVER A BEGINNING (That explains the trouble that you’re always
THERE CAN NEVER BE A STOP in)

“BE PATIENT,” IS VERY GOOD ADVICE,


TO SKIPPING, HOPPING, BUT THE WAITING MAKES ME CURIOUS
TRIPPING, CLOPPING, (But you’ll love the change should something
FANCY FREE AND GAY. strange begin.)
STARTED IT TOMORROW I’M SURE THAT I KNOW RIGHT FROM WRONG
BUT WE’LL FINISH YESTERDAY. (And you have the best intentions.
Life should be such a merry song, but there)

BUT THERE…
HARMONY (Is where)
FINALE IS WHERE I GIVE MYSELF VERY GOOD ADVICE
PAST THE RAINBOW. (But you very seldom follow it. Will she ever
FOLLOW THE BRIGHTEST STAR. learn to do the things she should?)

YOU HEART WILL LEAD YOU


STRAIGHT TO WHO YOU ARE.
WHITE RABBIT TWEEDLES
I'M LATE (perform the lines in BOLD) HOW D’YE DO - REPRISE
OH NO, OH NO, OH NO, OH NO! “HOW DO YOU DO?” AND SHAKE HANDS,
I’M LATE, I’M LATE, SHAKE HANDS, SHAKE HANDS.
FOR A VERY IMPORTANT DATE! “HOW DO YOU DO?” AND SHAKE HANDS.
NO TIME TO SAY, “HELLO.” STATE YOUR NAME AND BUS’NESS.
(Good-bye!)

I’M LATE, I’M LATE, I’M LATE.

ALL IN THE GOLDEN AFTERNOON
CAN’T EVEN SAY, “GOOD-BYE.”
(Hello!) LITTLE BREAD-AND-BUTTERFLIES
KISS THE TULIPS,
I’M LATE, I’M LATE, I’M LATE.
AND THE SUN IS LIKE A TOY BALLOON.
I RUN AND THEN I HOP, HOP, HOP,
THERE ARE GET UP IN THE MORNING GLORIES,
I WISH THAT I COULD FLY.
IN THE GOLDEN AFTERNOON.
THERE’S DANGER IF I STOP, STOP, STOP
AND HERE’S THE REASON WHY:
(We know! You’re late. It’s clear. So why are THERE ARE DIZZY DAFFODILS ON THE HILLSIDE,
you still here?) STRINGS OF VIOLETS ARE ALL IN TUNE,
I’LL NEVER MAKE IT NOW, I FEAR. TIGER LILIES LOVE THE DANDELIONS,
(You’re late! You’re late! You’re late!) IN THE GOLDEN AFTERNOON.
