Alice in Wonderland (Kern)



[Verse]
 * In a shady nook in a garden,
 * One long summer afternoon,
 * Golden haired Alice fell fast asleep
 * while the bees hummed a lullaby tune,


 * And what Alice dreamed in the garden
 * was a marvelous dream indeed;
 * So a poet wrote Alices dream in a book.
 * For old and young children to read!

[Refrain]
 * I wish I could wander in wonderland
 * Don't you?
 * I wish I could meet all the people she met
 * Don't you?


 * To that Mad tea party I'd love to go,
 * With all those wonderful guests we know,
 * I wish the white Rabbit would take my hand
 * and lead me to wonderland!

[Verse]
 * I would love to meet the old Duchess,
 * And talk with the gossiping mouse,
 * Hear the wise old remarks of the Dodo Bird,
 * Meet that Puppy as big as a house,


 * And the Footman Frog and the Footman Fish,
 * and the whole of the Court Card group;
 * I would love the Mock Turtle who wept and who sighed.
 * For fear he would end in the soup!

[Refrain]
 * I wish I could wander in wonderland
 * Don't you?
 * I wish I could meet all the people she met
 * Don't you?


 * Oh it would be jolly to have a chat,
 * With that grinning, Cheerfully, Chesire Cat,
 * I wish the Black Kitten would take my hand
 * and lead me to wonderland!


 * I do
 * Don't you?
 * I'm perfectly sure you do.
