Almost Alice movie - The Lobster Quadrille lyrics

rate me

"Will you walk a little faster?"<br>

Said a whiting to a snail,<br>

"There's a porpoise close behind us,<br>

And he's treading on my tail.<br>

See how eagerly the lobsters<br>

And the turtles all advance!<br>

They are waiting on the shingle -<br>

Will you come and join the dance?<br>

Will you, won't you, will you,<br>

Won't you, will you join the dance?<br>

Will you, won't you, will you,<br>

Won't you, won't you join the dance?<br>

<br>

"You can really have notion<br>

How delightful it will be<br>

When they take us up and throw us,<br>

With the lobsters, out to sea!"<br>

But the snail replied, "Too far, too far!"<br>

And gave a look askance -<br>

Said he thanked the whiting kindly,<br>

But he would not join the dance.<br>

Would not, could not, would not,<br>

Could not, would not join the dance.<br>

Would not, could not, would not,<br>

Could not, could not join the dance.<br>

<br>

"What matters it how far we go?"<br>

His scaly friend replied,<br>

"There is another shore, you know,<br>

Upon the other side.<br>

The further off from England<br>

The nearer is to France -<br>

Then turn not pale, beloved snail,<br>

But come and join the dance.<br>

Will you, won't you, will you,<br>

Won't you, will you join the dance?<br>

Will you, won't you, will you,<br>

Won't you, won't you join the dance?<br>

<br>
