rate meSong by Bob Hilliard, Sammy Fain, Oliver Wallace, Ted Sears, Mack David, Al Ho<br /><br>
TWEEDLE DUM:<br>
The sun was shining on the sea<br>
Shining with all his might<br>
<br>
TWEEDLE DEE:<br>
He did his very best to make<br>
The billows smooth and bright<br>
<br>
TWEEDLE DUM:<br>
And this was odd because it was<br>
<br>
BOTH:<br>
The middle of the night<br>
<br>
The Walrus and the Carpenter<br>
Were walking close at hand<br>
The beach was wide<br>
From side to side<br>
But much too full of sand<br>
<br>
CARPENTER:<br>
Mr. Walrus<br>
<br>
TWEEDLE DEE:<br>
Said the Carpenter<br>
<br>
CARPENTER:<br>
My brain begins to perk<br>
We'll sweep this clear in 'alf a year<br>
If you don't mind the work<br>
<br>
WALRUS:<br>
Work?! The time has come<br>
<br>
TWEEDLE DUM:<br>
The Walrus said<br>
<br>
WALRUS:<br>
To talk of other things<br>
Of shoes and ships and sealing wax<br>
Of cabbages and kings<br>
And why the sea is boiling hot<br>
And whether pigs have wings<br>
Calloo-Callay<br>
No work today!<br>
We're cabbages and kings<br>
<br>
Oh, uh, Oysters, come and walk with us<br>
The day is warm and bright<br>
A pleasant walk<br>
A pleasant talk<br>
Would be a sheer delight<br>
<br>
CARPENTER:<br>
Yes, should we get hungry on the way<br>
We'll stop and, uh, have a bite<br>
<br>
TWEEDLE DEE:<br>
But Mother Oyster winked her eye<br>
And shook her heavy head<br>
She knew too well<br>
This was no time to leave her Oyster bed<br>
<br>
MOTHER OYSTER:<br>
The sea is nice,<br>
Take my advice<br>
And stay right here<br>
<br>
TWEEDLE :<br>
Mum said<br>
<br>
WALRUS:<br>
Yes, yes, of course, of course, but, uh, ha, ha<br>
The time has come, my little friends<br>
To talk of other things<br>
Of shoes and ships and sealing wax<br>
Cabbages and kings<br>
And why the sea is boiling hot<br>
And whether pigs have wings, ha ha<br>
Callo-Callay<br>
Come, run away<br>
With cabbages and kings!<br>
<br>
Well, now, uh, let me see<br>
Ah, a loaf of bread is what we chiefly need!<br>
<br>
CARPENTER:<br>
Listen, how 'bout some pepper and salt and vinegar, eh?<br>
<br>
WALRUS:<br>
Well, yes, yes, splendid idea, ha ha!<br>
Very good, indeed<br>
Now, if you're ready, Oysters, dear<br>
We can begin the feed<br>
<br>
OYSTERS:<br>
Feed?!<br>
<br>
WALRUS:<br>
Oh, yes, the time has come, my little friends<br>
To talk of food and things<br>
<br>
CARPENTER:<br>
Of peppercorns and mustard seeds<br>
And other seasonings!<br>
We'll mix 'em all together<br>
In a sauce that's fit for kings<br>
Calloo-Callay<br>
We'll eat today<br>
Like cabbages and kings!<br>
<br>
WALRUS:<br>
I, uh, weep for you. I (hic), oh excuse me<br>
I deeply sympathise<br>
For I've enjoyed your company, oh much more<br>
Than you realize<br>
<br>
CARPENTER:<br>
Little Oysters? Little Oysters?<br>
<br>
TWEEDLE DEE & DUM:<br>
But answer, there came none<br>
And this was scarcely odd because<br>
They'd been eaten<br>
Every one!<br>
<br>
With cabbages and kings!<br>
<br>
