Lyrics[]

ALICE: I give myself
       Very good advice
       But I very seldom follow it.
 
ALL: That explains the trouble that you’re always in
     Trouble that you’re always in.
 
ALICE: Be patient
       Is very good advice,
       But the waiting makes me curious.
 
ALL: But you’ll love the change should something strange begin.
     Should something strange begin.
 
ALICE: I’m sure that I know right from wrong
 
ALL: And you have the best intentions.
     Life should be such a merry song
     But there
 
ALICE: But there
 
ALL: Is where
 
ALICE: Is where I give myself
       Very good advice
 
ALL: But you very seldom follow it
     Will she (I) ever learn to do the things she (I) should?
 
MAD HATTER: (spoken) The price of your hat is not always the measure of your brain.
 
QUEEN: (spoken) Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it.
 
DODO BIRD: (spoken) Necessity is the mother of invention.
 
ROSE: (spoken) Beauty without virtue is a flower without perfume.
 
WHITE RABBIT: (spoken) Tempus fugits!
 
CATERPILLAR: (spoken) Don’t worry, be happy!
 
ALICE: I give myself
       Very good advice
 
ALL: But you very seldom follow it.
     Will she ever learn to do the things she should? Ahhhh!
 
ALICE: Will I ever learn to do the things I Ahhhhhhh!
