DREAMS FOR ALICE / Pig and Pepper

From my musical DREAMS FOR ALICE this song is based on the chapter called "PIG AND PEPPER" from Lewis Carroll's ALICE IN WONDERLAND. The complete musical with a GREAT cast is available on CD and downloads from Amazon and on downloads from iTunes. For more information go to www.DREAMSFORALICE.com

LYRICS:

The Queen's Footman:

What is with all the ruckus
I'm here to see the Duchess
I have her invitation from The Queen
And though I'm known to be her "footman"
I may look more like a FISH it seems!
IT SEEMS! (with the Cheshire Cat)
Now you say your name is Alice
I've not seen you at the Palace
Or the Hatter's, or the Rabbit's, or the Hare's
And there is no sense in knocking
as they don't believe in locking down here

There was PIG & PEPPER inside!!!! (Chorus with Cheshire Cat - Repeat)

A Cheshire Cat sat calmly in his corner of the room
as the Duchess tossed a baby through the air
And the cook was dumping pepper
by the cupfuls in his soup
With care
Who cares?
The Cheshire Cat was grinning like no cat she'd ever seen
For a reason Alice couldn't understand
As the cook was tossing dishes
though he never cared or knew
where they'd land!

PIG & PEPPER inside ! (chorus with Cheshire Cat )

Then Alice grabbed the baby
and went running through the door
She went dashing past the Duchess in dismay
For it surely would be murder for to wait a minute more
As the baby turned a pig and ran away!

MY NAME IS ALICE - Reprise (3:15)

Alice:
Then suddenly up and so alarmingly near
On a branch of a tree a Cheshire Cat did appear
And he grinned such a grin that stretched out ear to ear
And I knew without doubt I had nothing to fear
I'm Alice.. My Name is Alice (Repeat)
