To the looking-glass world it was Alice that said:
I’ve a sceptre in hand, I’ve a crown on my head.
Let the looking-glass creatures, whatever they be
Come dine with the Red Queen, the White Queen, and me.
Song lyrics to I Hate Dogs and Cats, Music and Lyrics by Steve Allen, Performed by Sherman Hemsley in Alice in Wonderland 1985
I hate dogs and I hate cats,
I’m also not too fond of bats,
I’m a helpless little fellow
Consequently … rather yellow.
[the song is book-ended by Tweedledee (Steve Lawrence) and Tweedledum (Eydie Gormé)]
Tweeldedee (Steve Lawrence) and Tweedledum (Edyie Gormé):
The walrus and the carpenter were walking close at hand
They went like anything to see such quantities of sand.
The Duchess (Martha Raye):
There’s something to say for hatred
For rudeness
And for spite.
Song lyrics to Laugh, Music and Lyrics by Steve Allen, Performed by Anthony Newley in Alice in Wonderland (1985) Laugh At every single thing we do,Just laugh,And we shall all perform for you. Just smile,And… Laugh [song lyrics from Alice in Wonderland]

You Are Old, Father William
