Lyrics
You know the tale of the girl
Who was sitting’ by the fire with her kitten—
It’s a story that was written long ago
You know that she was about to retire
When the glass above the fire
Seemed to suddenly expire like the snow
You know when the way was cleared
That she disappeared thro’ the looking glass
You know that her name was Alice
So, come along if you care
We’ll take you there
You must prepare to be a kiddie
Like you were when you read of the girl
Who was sitting’ by the fire with her kitten
In the story that was written long ago
Chorus:
Come along with Alice into wonderland
To the lovely palace where they’re all so grand
See the funny people strolling hand in hand
Come along and pass through the looking glass
Into wonderland
Sung by Laurence Rubenstein:
