Alice In Wonderland Page #2

Do you suppose

he could be hiding?

Hmm

Not here

I wonder

No, I suppose he must've...

Oh! Why, what peculiar

little figures

Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum

If you think we're waxworks,

you ought to pay, you know

Contrary to wax, if you think

we're alive, you ought to speak to us

- That's logic

- Well, it's been nice meeting you

Goodbye

You're beginning backwards

Aye, the first thing

in a visit is to say:

How do you do and shake hands

Shake hands, shake hands

How do you do and shake hands

and state your name and business

- That's manners

- Really?

Well, my name is Alice, and I'm

following a white rabbit, so...

- No, you can't go yet

- No, the visit has just started

- I'm very sorry

- Would you like to play hide-and-seek?

- Or "Button, button, who's got the button"?

- No, thank you

If you stay long enough,

we might have a battle

That's very kind of you,

but I must be going

- Why?

- Because I'm following a white rabbit

- Why?

- Well, I-I'm curious to know where he's going

Oh, she's curious

The oysters were curious,

too, weren't they?

Aye, and you remember

what happened to them

- Poor things

- Poor things

Why? What did happen

to the oysters?

- Oh, you wouldn't be interested

- Oh, but I am

No, no, you're in

much too much of a hurry

- Well, perhaps I could spare a little time

- You could?

Well!

"The Walrus and the Carpenter"

Or "The Story of the Curious Oysters"

The sun was shining on the sea

Shining with all its might

He did his very best to make

the billows smooth and bright

And this was oddn 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 half a year

If you don't mind the work

Work!

- Th-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

Oh, uh, oysters, come out

and walk with us

The day is warm and bright

A pleasant walk,

a pleasant talk,

would be a sheer delight

Yes, and should we

get hungry on the way,

we'll stop and, uh, have a bite

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

- And stay right here

- Mum said

Yes, yes, of course, of course,

but, uh, ha-ha!

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, uh, whether pigs have wings

Calloo, callay

Come run away

With cabbages and kings

Well, now, uh, let me see

Ah! A loaf of bread

is what we chiefly need

Listen, how 'bout some pepper

and salt and vinegar, eh?

Well, yes, yes. Splendid idea.

Ha-ha. Very good indeed

Now, if you're ready,

oysters, dear,

we can begin the feed

- Feed?

- Oh, yes. Uh...

The time has come my little friends

to talk of food and things

Of peppercorns and mustard seed

and other seasonings

We'll mix 'em all together

in a sauce that's fit for kings

Calloo, callay

We'll eat today

Like cabbages and kings

I, uh... I-I weep for you

I... Oh, excuse me.

I deeply sympathize

For I've enjoyed your company...

oh, much more than you realize

Little oysters.

Little oysters

But answer there came none

And this was scarcely odd because

They'd been eaten, every one

Well, uh...

The time has come!

With cabbages

And kings

- The end

- That was a very sad story

Aye, and there's a moral to it

Oh, yes, a very good moral,

if you happen to be an oyster

- Well, it's been a very nice visit...

- Another recitation

- I'm sorry, but...

- Entitled "Father William"

- But really, I'm...

- First verse

You are old, Father William

the young man said

And your hair

has become very white

And yet you incessantly

stand on your head

Do you think at your age

it is right, it's right

Do you think at your age it is right

Well, in me youth

Father William replied to his son

I'd do it again

and again and again

And I've done it again

and again and again

I wonder who lives here

Mary Ann! Oh, drat that girl.

Where could she have put them?

- Mary Ann!

- The rabbit!

Mary Ann!

No use! Can't wait! I'm awfully late.

Oh, me. Oh, my. Oh, me. Oh, my

Excuse me, sir, but...

but I've been trying to...

Why, Mary Ann!

What are you doing out here?

- Mary Ann?

- Don't just do something

Stand there. No, no! Go, go!

- Go get my gloves. I'm late!

- But late for what?

- That's just what I...

- My gloves!

- At once! Do you hear?

- Goodness

I suppose I'll be taking

orders from Dinah next

Hmm. Now let me see

If I were a rabbit, where

would I keep my gloves?

Oh! Thank you

Don't mind if I do

Oh, no, no, not again

Oh! Mary Ann!

Now you see here,

Mary Ann. Help!

I need help!

Whoo-hoo! Ha! Oh!

No! Help!

Monster! Help! Assistance!

- Oh, dear

- A monster! A monster, Dodo!

In my house, Dodo.

Oh, my poor little-bitty house

Steady. Steady, old chap. Can't

be as bad as all that, you know

Oh, my poor roof and rafters.

All my walls and... There it is!

By Jove!

Jolly well is, isn't it?

Well, do something, Doo-doo

Yes, indeed. An extraordinary

situation, but, uh...

But, but, but, but, but what?

But I have a very

simple solution

- Thank goodness

- W-W-W-What is it?

- Simply pull it out the chimney

- Yes, g-g-go on, go on. Pull it out

Who, me? Don't be ridiculous

What we need is a... Uh...

- A lizard with a ladder!

- Hmm? Oh! Bill!

Bill! We need a lazard with

a lidder... A lidder... A b-b-b...

- Can you help us?

- At your service, governor

Bill, me lad, have you

ever been down a chimney?

Why, governor, I've been

down more chimneys...

Excellent, excellent.

You just pop down the chimney...

and haul that monster

out of there

Righto, governor. Monster?

Steady now. There.

That's better

Bill, lad, you're passing up

a golden opportunity

- I am?

- You can be famous

- I can?

- Of course!

There's a brave lad.

In you go now

Nothing to it, old boy.

Simply tie your tail...

around the monster's neck

and drag it out

- B-But-But, governor...

- Good luck, Bill

Well, there goes Bill

- Poor Bill

- Uh,

perhaps we should try

a- a more energetic remedy

Yes! Anything, anything. But hurry!

Oh, I-I propose that we, uh...

- Yes, go on, go on. Yes, yes

- I propose we, uh...

Oh!

By Jove! That's it.

We'll burn the house down

Yes. Burn the house... What?

- Oh, no

- Oh-ho-ho!

Oh, we'll smoke the blighter out

We'll put the beast to rout

Some kindling

A stick or two

Ah, this bit of rubbish

ought to do

- Oh, dear

- We'll smoke the blighter out

- We'll smoke the monster out

- No, no! Not my beautiful bird house!

Oh, we'll roast

the blighter's toes

We'll toast

the bounder's nose
