Uh, one moment, please

Ooh

Why... Why, you're a cat

A Cheshire cat

Oh, wait!

Don't go, please

There you are. Third chorus

Oh, no, no, no.

Thank you, but...

But I just wanted to ask you

which way I ought to go

Well, that depends..

on where you want

to get to

Oh, it really doesn't matter,

as long as I...

Can you stand on your head?

I'd ask the Mad Hatter

The Mad Hatter? Um,

no, no, I-I don't think...

Or there's the March Hare...

in that direction

Uh, thank you. I-I think

I shall visit him

Of course, he's mad too

Oh, but I don't want

to go among mad people

Oh, you can't help that

Most everyone's mad here

You may have noticed...

And the mome raths outgrabe

I'll say it's rude.

It's very, very rude indeed

Very, very, very rude indeed

Oh, I'm very sorry,

but I did enjoy your singing,

and I wondered if you could tell me...

You enjoyed our singing?

Oh, what a delightful child

Things happen. I'm so excited!

We never get compliments

Now blow the candle out, my dear

and make your wish come true

A very merry unbirthday

To you

Twinkle, twinkle, little bat,

How I wonder what you're at

Up above the world

you fly...

Like a tea-tray in the sky

- Oh, that was lovely

- And, uh, and now, my dear,

uh, you were saying that

you would like to seek...

Pardon me

Uh, you were seeking, uh, some

information of some kind?

Oh, yes. You see,

I'm looking for a...

Clean cup, clean cup.

Move down!

- But I haven't used my cup

- Drink up, drink up

Move down, move down

Drink up, drink up, move down

Would you like

a little more tea?

Well, I haven't had any yet,

so I can't very well take more

Ah, you mean you can't

very well take less

Yes. You can always

take more than nothing

- But I only meant that...

- And now, my dear,

something, uh, seems

to be troubling you

Uh, won't you tell us

all about it?

- Start at the beginning

- Yes, yes

And when you come

to the end,

stop, see?

Well, it all started...

while I was sitting on

the riverbank with Dinah

Very interesting

- Who's Dinah?

- Why, Dinah's my cat. You see...

Ah! Cat?

Get the jam. On his nose.

Put it on his nose

On his nose, on his nose

- C-C-Cat

- Oh. Oh

My goodness. Those are

the things that upset me

See all the trouble

you've started?

- But really, I didn't think that...

- Ah, but that's the point

- If you don't think, you shouldn't talk

- Clean cup, clean cup

Move down, move down, move down!

- But I still haven't used...

- Move down, move down, move down

Move down

And now, my dear,

as you were saying?

Oh, yes. I was sitting

on the riverbank with, uh,

with you-know-who

I do?

I mean my c-a-t

Tea?

Just half a cup,

if you don't mind

Come, come, my dear.

Don't you care for tea?

Why, yes, I'm very

fond of tea, but...

If you don't care for tea, you could

at least make polite conversation

Well, I've been trying

to ask you...

I have an excellent idea

Let's change the subject

Why is a raven

like a writing desk?

Riddles?

Let me see now

Why is a raven

like a writing desk?

- I beg your pardon?

- Why is a raven like a writing desk?

- Why is a what?

- Careful. She's stark, ravin' mad

But, but it's your silly riddle.

You just said...

- Steady. Don't get excited

- How about a nice cup of tea?

Have a cup of tea, indeed. Well,

I'm sorry, but I just haven't the time

The time! The time!

Who's got the time?

No, no, no, no. No time,

no time, no time

Hello. Goodbye.

I'm late. I'm late

- The White Rabbit!

- Oh, I'm so late

I'm so very, very late

Well, no wonder you're late. Why,

this clock is exactly two days slow

- Two days slow?

- Course you're late

My goodness

We'll have to look into this. Aha!

I see what's wrong with this

Why, this watch is full of wheels

Oh, my poor watch.

Oh, my wheels and springs

But, but, but, but,

but, but, but, but...

Butter! Of course!

It needs some butter. Butter!

- Butter!

- But-but-butter?

Butter. Oh, thank you.

Butter. Yes, that's fine

Oh, no, no! No, no, no!

You'll get crumbs in it

Oh, this is the very best butter.

What are you talking about?

- Tea?

- Tea! Oh, I never thought of tea! Of course

- Don't! Don't! Not tea!

-

- Sugar?

- Sugar? Two spoons. Yes, y... Two spoons

- Thank you, yes

- Oh, please be careful!

- Jam?

- Jam! I forgot all about the jam

- No! Not jam!

- Just shows you what a person'll do

- Mustard?

- Mustard, yes! Mus...

Mustard?

Don't let's be silly

Lemon... that's different.

That's... There

That should do it

- Look at that - It's going mad

- Oh, my goodness

- Oh, dear - It's going mad

I can't understand it.

It was the best butter

Mad watch. Mad watch
