Alice In Wonderland

Written by Bob Hilliard and Sammy Fain
Performed by chorus

Alice in Wonderland, how do
you get to Wonderland?
Over the hill or underland,
or just behind the tree?
When clouds go rolling by,
they roll away and leave the sky.
Where is the land beyond the eye,
the people can not see, where can it be?
Where do stars go, where is the
grass that's blue?
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

Written by Bob Hilliard and Sammy Fain
Performed by Kathryn Beaumont

Cats 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 here a song, that I could understand.
I keep wishing it could be that way, because
my world would be wonderland.

The Caucus Race

Written by Bob Hilliard and Sammy Fain
Performed by Bill Thompson and chorus

Forward, backwards, inward, outward,
come and join the chase! Nothing could
be drier than a jolly caucus race.
Forward, backwards, outward, inward,
bottom to the top, never a beginning
there can never be a stop to skipping,
hopping, tripping, fancy free, I started
it tommorrow and will finish yesterday.
Round and round and round we go, and dance
for evermore, once we were behind but
now we find we are be-forward, backwards,
inward, outward, come and join the chase!
Nothing could be drier than a jolly caucus-race.
For backwards...

 

The Walrus and the Carpenter

Written by Bob Hilliard and Sammy Fain
Performed by Pat O'Malley

The sun was shining on the sea, shining with
all his might, he did his very best to make
the billows full 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 white from side to side but
much too full of sand. ‘Mister Walrus’, said the
Carpenter: ‘My brain begins to burke. We’ll sweep
this clear in half a year, if you don't mind the
work.'

Dee & Dum: But mother Oyster winked her eye and
shook her heavy head. She knew too well this
was no time to leave her oyster bed.

Mother oyster: The sea is nice, take my advice, and stay right here.

Dee & Dum: Mom said.

Very Good Advice

Written by Bob Hilliard and Sammy Fain
Performed by Kathryn Beaumont

Alice: but I very seldom follow it. That explains the trouble that I’m always in. Be patient is very good advice, but the waiting makes me curious. And I'd love the change, should something strange begin. Well, I went along my merry way, and I never stopped to reason. I should have known there’d be a price to pay, some day. Some day. I give myself very good advice, but I very seldom follow it. Will I ever learn to do the things I should?
Chorus: Should I ever learn to do the things I should
